PARIS — An Oxford County grand jury has indicted 20 individuals from around the country on charges of selling and possessing drugs at the Nateva Music and Camping Festival last month.

Thirteen of the 16 people initially arrested at the festival on drug trafficking charges were included in the indictments, along with three additional people. Three people arrested at the festival on charges of possessing an illegal drug had the charge changed  to drug trafficking. One person was indicted on a felony drug possession charge.

Three people arrested at the festival on drug trafficking charges were not indicted, but the District Attorney's Office said at least one case was still under review and would be presented to the next grand jury.

The four-day Nateva Festival, the first event in what is anticipated to be an annual series, took place at the Oxford Fairgrounds over the Fourth of July weekend. It featured performances by 51 bands. More than 8,000 people attended the event, and police arrested or issued summonses to 34 concertgoers in total.

According to court documents, several busts occurred when security personnel searched concert-goers at entrances to the fairgrounds. Agents from the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency were also present at the festival and seized Ecstasy, LSD, psylocybin mushrooms, marijuana, and cocaine packaged for sale.

After the festival, police said most of the festival's attendees did not cause any problems. During a July 9 discussion on its Facebook page, Nateva Maine said drug dealers are not welcome at the event.

“If you were selling drugs or nitrous, we don't want you to come back,” the post reads. “If you brought your own personal stash, exercised reasonable discretion and behaved like a human being — we expect you had no problems with security and enjoyed yourself as a member of the Nateva Community.”

Four people were charged with aggravated drug trafficking due to prior felony convictions for drug trafficking. Two of the indictments charge Maine residents with crimes, with the remainder charging residents from other states.
