MADISON, Wis. — Authorities said that behavior is changing at Madison’s annual Halloween party on State Street and that property damage and arrests are at the lowest point in years.
This year, WISC-TV was given a firsthand, behind-the-scenes look from the police transport area, which is set up outside State Street during Freakfest, to the arrest processing center where over-rowdy revelers are cited and released or sent to detox or sometimes to jail.
Police said that behavior at the Halloween party is changing year-to-year but they said if partiers cause trouble, they will be arrested.
