Data: More guys arrested on holiday

Newport Beach police have released more detailed statistics from the Fourth of July weekend, and numbers show men were the overwhelming problem crowd for authorities.

Police made 119 arrests between 6 p.m. Friday and 6 a.m. Sunday, a 25% drop from 159 arrests last year.

Of those arrested, 15 were women.

Police said 107 of the arrests were for misdemeanors and the dozen others for various felonies.

Only 15% of arrestees listed Newport Beach as their city of residence, showing that the Balboa Peninsula and the city as a whole continues to be a major attraction for visitors around the holiday.

Police issued more than 300 tickets, most for alcohol-related offenses and issued 600 parking tickets.
