DJ charged after allegedly failing to turn down music, leave out-of-control party at Booyeembara Park [Video]

A DJ has been charged after he allegedly refused to turn down his music and leave an out-of-control gathering in the early hours of Boxing Day — one of two parties police shut down in Fremantle.

Officers were first called to Booyeembara Park in Fremantle about 12.30am on Boxing Day where they found about 600 people had gathered.

Police from Fremantle, the canine unit, and the regional operations ground all attended and the crowd was dispersed without incident.

A video circulating on social media shows a crowd in the amphitheatre singing as fireworks go off in the background and a line of police officers watch on with torches.

A few hours later, at 3am, police say they were called to another large party at Port Beach in North Fremantle. It is alleged 200 people were there — some of them from the gathering that had been shut down hours earlier.
