Hide AdA spokesman said: "Following our investigations into drug supply at Mutiny Festival in May 2018, officers have charged a man.
"Lee John Harvey, 22, of Owslebury Grove, Havant, has been charged with three counts being concerned in the supply of class A drugs. He is due to appear at Portsmouth Magistrates’ Court on January 21.
"Two men, a 21-year-old from Waterlooville and a 22-year-old from Havant, arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs, have been released with no further action.
"A 23-year-old woman from Waterlooville arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a class A drug has been released with no further action."
The festival was held at Fontwell in West Sussex before the tragic event of 2018, which led to it being rebranded.
