More than 100 people were arrested last night at rock concert at the Darien Lake Performing Arts Center in Genesee County.
A majority of those arrested are accused of underage drinking, according to Genesee County sheriff’s deputies. Ninety-six young adults from across Western New York were charged with unlawful possession of an alcoholic beverage by a person under 21. Those young adults, who are between ages 16 to 20, were all issued appearance tickets and are expected to answer the charges in Darien Town Court at a later date, said chief deputy G.L. Dibble of the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff’s deputies and New York State Police implemented an underage drinking enforcement before and during the 6:30 p.m. Kid Rock and Lynyrd Skynyrd concert. Police focused their efforts on a large private parking lot at 1516 Sumner Road as well as the parking lot at the performing arts center, 9993 Allegheny Road, Darien.
Other arrested at the concert are facing more serious. Locally, the following people are facing charges:
•Daniel D. Dangelantonio, 26, of Rochester was charged with disorderly conduct. He is accused of shoving and punching several security guards as the guards attempted to remove him from the concert venue. He was issued an appearance ticket and is slated to answer the charge in Darien Town Court at 5:30 p.m. on Aug. 12.
•Jamie E. Otto-Trott, 24, of Rochester was charged with two counts of second-degree harassment. She is accused of striking a security guard and kicking a sheriff’s deputy in the leg at the concert. She was arraigned in Darien Town Court and was remanded to the Genesee County Jail in lieu of $300 cash bail.
•Anthony F. Pero, 39, of Gates was charged with second-degree harassment. He is accused of fighting with security guards in the venue’s VIP area. He was arraigned in Darien Town Court and was remanded to the Genesee County Jail in lieu of $200 cash bail.
•Peter H. Scrooby, 33, of Irondequoit was charged with disorderly conduct. He is accused of fighting with a security guard as he was being escorted from the concert venue. He was arraigned in Darien Town Court and was remanded to the Genesee County Jail in lieu of $200 cash bail.
The effort stemmed from numerous complaints of underage drinking and disorderly behavior at the private lot on Sumner Road, also known as “the hill,” Dibble said. Deputies said they intend to continue to patrol this area during future concerts at the performing arts center.
