Phish bankrolled 200 cops, including feds, for reunion 'security'
Hampton, Virginia police say they seized over $1.2 million in narcotics, arrested 250 people and collected over $68,000 in cash during a highly publicized, three-day reunion concert by psychedelic rock jam bad Phish.

While media outlets reported that the rock band paid for the police presence, RAW STORY has found out that the force, intended for security, was nearly 200 agents strong and involved three federal agencies.

I was a big fan of Phish in the 90's, what happened to them?
