DALTON TWP, Mich. -- A massive party drew in nearly 700 people over the weekend all thanks to a familiar social networking site.

It all started when Muskegon hip hop artist Jodi Dro from the group H-D-O-E created a Snapchat account to invite people to his pop up party. Little did he know, his simple invite would be followed up with cars being towed, tazers drawn and him getting handcuffed by police.

"It was never really out of hand," said Dro . "Everybody was really respectful... we had kids from every neighborhood in the city, other counties, other cities."

One neighbor, who we spoke to, who wished to remain anonymous,  saw it all go down.

"There was cops all along this road, tow trucks were taking cars out left and right," the neighbor said. "We heard people getting tazed in the woods, screaming as police were telling them to stop," she added.

Neighbors along Muskegon's Strand Road also tell us this was the second party in a month and they're hoping it was also the last.

We tried reaching out to the Muskegon County Sheriff's Office, but we did not hear back.
