Morgan Wallen’s two-night Swamp concert draws crowds and at least 5 arrests

Country star Morgan Wallen performed back-to-back shows at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville as part of his tour, drawing large crowds to the venue. At least five people were arrested across the two nights, including two brothers who were taken into custody on charges of resisting arrest after children accused them of inappropriate touching — though deputies said evidence was insufficient to charge them on those allegations. A third person, Douglas Nipper, was arrested after reportedly causing a disturbance in the stands, knocking over barriers, and cursing at officers.
