To illustrate the real story of Mardi Gras 2021, take a look at the police records.
A year ago, 290 vehicles were towed from downtown Mobile, an increase of 227 from the 2019 Carnival.
This year: Not one vehicle was removed requiring owners to fork over $150 to retrieve it from a special Mardi Gras impound.
In a typical Mardi Gras season, officers will respond to close to 500 complaints, and issue well over 400 tickets. During Fat Tuesday, the Mobile police department logged nine complaints, and no tickets were issued.
