Burning Man doesn’t officially start until Sunday, but three people have already been arrested on suspicion of transporting large quantities of drugs out to the playa.

The Pershing County Sheriff’s Office made two arrests Thursday.

“We stopped them for routine traffic violations and found a lot drugs,” Sheriff Jerry Allen told the Reno Gazette Journal on Friday.

Yerington police on Wednesday separately confiscated large amounts of crack cocaine, methamphetamine, ecstasy, mushrooms, LSD, Oxycodone, Vicodin, Valium and Xanax from a vehicle. Asked where he was headed, a 48-year-old suspect said “Burning Man,” according to police.

Allen said his team is bringing twice the amount of Narcan, 100 doses, to the annual countercultural festival in the Black Rock Desert. The quick-acting nasal spray can stop an opioid overdose.

Elected sheriff of the rural Nevada county in 2015, Allen is on his 10th year coordinating a police force that patrols Burning Man and the surrounding communities during the influx of tens of thousands of people.

He’s seen a lot and occasionally has butted heads with Burning Man leaders, including over how and where sexual assaults at the festival are reported and handled.

In Pershing County, with fewer than 7,000 residents the rest of the year, the population jumps more than 1,000% when Burners arrive.  Attendance dropped following the hiatus of 2020 and 2021 due to COVID and the 2023 rains that turned the playa into a cement trap. Allen expected numbers to grow a bit compared with last year.

This year, rain expected in parts of Northern Nevada could again made the trek in and out of the desert tough.

Allen said about 22 officers from Pershing County will work Burning Man, with deputies camped there before and after the nine-day festival

For the last two years, the sheriff’s office has worked under the Bureau of Land Management to help provide law enforcement. Allen said the BLM and rural deputies work well together.
