While Lynyrd Skynyrd and Kid Rock rocked the house at Darien Lake Theme Park last night, law enforcement officials were kept hopping, busting more than 100 people on a variety of charges.
Ninety-six of the arrests were made for under-age drinking in a parking lot known as "The Hill," where there have been previous complaints of teen-age boozing. Deputy Chief Gordon Dibble said it will continue to be an area of increased enforcement at future concerts.

NOTE: I hung out in the Darien Court for a couple of hours last night and observed three arraignments. I'll have a report on that later today.
I was half-tempted to e-mail
I was half-tempted to e-mail you during the concert to let you know how many people were getting arrested. Over 100 doesn't surprise me at all.

They are going to have to expand GCASA if this keeps up...Wasn't there any drugs at the concert...
