Sacramento officials are mulling whether to expand a holiday ban on alcohol on the American River after a recent event was marred by violence and arrests.

The Sacrament Bee reported ( http://bit.ly/OE7CPc) that the county Board of Supervisors would discuss extending the ban after last weekend’s “Rafters Gone Wild,” an event that drew more than 3,000 revelers to the river.

Authorities said rocks and bottles were thrown at officers and paramedics during Saturday’s event, as they tried to break up brawls and provide aid.
