'Illegal' rodeo, concert shut down -- but the situation isn't over

City of South Fulton police said they shut down an illegal rodeo and concert this weekend.

Investigators said neighbors complained about the event on a property along Butner Road.

They said it caused major traffic problems in the area.

Police arrested two organizers for not having the proper permits to hold the event and sell alcohol.

Rosa Ramirez, the owner of Cookie Monster rentals, provided 650 chairs, tables and canopies for the concert held Saturday at the ranch.

But when she and her family arrived on Sunday to pick up their stuff, they were locked out with no sign of the men who hired her.

"It's sad, because the person that there was contact with, they didn’t never pick up or answer the messages to say anything about the incident on Saturday," Ramirez said.

“There is some money owed and they said the money was going to get paid when the event was over, and the money was going to be there but unfortunately not the money or the stuff," Ramirez said.
