PEOPLE has reached out to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office for further information.
TMZ reported that signs posted around the property for the holiday event stated that attendees could not have “real or fake weapons,” even if they were props for a Halloween costume.
Skvlk Fest (pronounced “skulk”) is the Halloween-themed music festival organized by Foxx’s 18-year-old daughter, Anelise, that features carnival-style rides and performances from artists including Tyga, Ty Dolla $ign, Sexyy Red, Leon Thomas and more.
This year’s event was originally set for Saturday, Oct. 31, but was postponed due to the rainy weather in California on Halloween.

A similar incident took place at last year’s festival when someone threw a glass bottle at rapper GloRilla.
The musician, 27, had apparently been performing when a guest threw the glass object at her, stopping the performance for a moment, PEOPLE reported at the time. Foxx, 58, could be seen coming to GloRilla’s defense, demanding to know who threw the item.

“Why would you do something like that?” he yelled on a microphone. “Why would you throw something at the stage, man? This is for free.”
“Y’all don’t deserve this s—. That’s f—ed up, bro,” Foxx continued. “I’m so disappointed. I love y’all but hate whoever the f— that was. That ain’t cool, bro. You throw some s— at my house? That ain’t cool.”
GloRilla eventually continued her song and finished her set.
Foxx shares Anelise with ex Kristin Grannis, and he is dad to daughter Corinne, 32, whom he shares with ex Connie Kline.
On Nov. 4, sources confirmed to PEOPLE that the Back in Action star welcomed a baby with girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp, 31, though the couple has not shared their newborn’s birthdate or name.
