Samuel and Jackson Bush filed documents to court where they laid out the details of their lawsuit. They said that they were hired by AJ Melino and Associates to work security detail during the festival, which was said to have 50,000 attendees. Ultimately, a larger crowd ended up showing out for the festival, creating overwhelming circumstances for security.
