# Navigating The Aftermath Of Wmpo | Grand Canyon Law Group

As the [WM Phoenix Open](https://wmphoenixopen.com/) comes to a close, Arizonans reflect on the chaos that engulfed the event, with reports of increased arrests, ejections, and trespassing incidents. The sheer magnitude of the crowds, coupled with the festive atmosphere, often led to challenging situations for law enforcement and attendees alike. According to [reports](https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/wm-phoenix-open-dept-of-liquor-licenses-control-reveal-alcohol-enforcement-numbers) from the Scottsdale Police Department, the numbers for calls for service, arrests, ejections, and trespassing incidents have risen significantly over the years, indicating a growing trend of disorderliness at the event.

The aftermath of the WMPO prompts us to consider the importance of vigilance and responsibility when attending events of such magnitude, particularly where alcohol consumption is prevalent. As we bid farewell to the open season and eagerly anticipate the arrival of Arizona’s spring, our attention naturally turns to the upcoming Annual Cactus League spring training. With over [200 games](https://cactusleague.com/schedule.php) played in 30 days and attracting more than 1.5 million fans, the Cactus League brings a significant economic boost to the state. However, similar to the WMPO, it also brings an uptick in alcohol-related arrests, [including DUIs](https://www.grandcanyon.law/phoenix-az/dui-lawyer/).

Beyond suspected drunk driving, police may charge individuals for offenses like:

- Extreme DUI – for very high blood alcohol concentration
- [Underage DUI](https://www.grandcanyon.law/phoenix-az/dui-lawyer/underage-dui/) – Arizona has zero tolerance for under 21 drivers.
- [Aggravated DUI](https://www.grandcanyon.law/phoenix-az/dui-lawyer/aggravated-dui/) – for repeat or child endangerment

If engaged by law enforcement:

- Cooperate respectfully with instructions.
- Provide documentation as required.
- Exercise right to decline voluntary sobriety tests.
- Call legal representation if arrested/charged.

If arrested, consulting an attorney ASAP is vital, as penalties can be severe. At Grand Canyon Law Group, our experienced attorneys have handled hundreds of alcohol-related cases around Cactus League venues. We’ll strive to safeguard your rights and secure the most positive outcome possible.
