On December 8, 1980, the Eustis Police Department, Lake County Sheriff’s Department, and the Leesburg Police Department arrested 15 people on drug charges (including charges of misdemeanor possession of marijuana and resisting arrest) while watching “Urban Cowboy” as part of a double feature (with the other feature being “Roadie”) at the Movie Garden. Out of the 15 arrested, four of them were juveniles.

During the riff, two undercover policemen were injured in a scuffle by a 16-year-old girl (who was arrested on battery on a police officer and resisting arrest with violence) as the two officers were then treated and released from Waterman Memorial Hospital.

This picture was taken a day after the incident.
