The Gathering of the Juggalos hasn't even started yet, and already police in Cave-In-Rock, Ill., have their hands full. Police have made at least 10 arrests as the Insane Clown Posse fans file into tow. The Hardin County Sheriff said the juggalos were jamming up traffic around 6 a.m.

The Village Voice writes:

"We've had 10 or 15 in four or five hours," says Cullison. Six involved drug charges ("Not a large amount either"), one for unpaid child support. The rest were apprehended for lacking auto insurance, vehicle registration, or driving with a revoked license. No weapons have been found, Cullison notes, "so far."

"We got one upstairs who might be extradited," says the Sheriff, referring to the alleged deadbeat dad. Everyone else bonded out. "It's been a long day. Imagine what tomorrow's going to be when it opens."

And so it begins.
