“Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand,” Zac Brown Band sang last summer at the PNC Arts Center during their concert as, ironically, numerous concert-goers left very worried about their alcohol-related arrest. The PNC Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey is a popular venue for summertime concerts at the Jersey Shore. In anticipation of summertime, people eagerly await the concert lineup and, more importantly, the pre-concert tailgates.

This year’s lineup includes acts such as Sam Hunt, Nickelback, Zac Brown Band, Luke Bryan, Chris Stapleton, Foreigner, OneRepublic, Brad Paisley, Lady Antebellum, Kelsea Ballerini, Florida Georgia Line, and John Mayer. Are you planning on going to any of these popular events? As the crowds rise during the Summer season at PNC, so do arrests for underage drinking, assault, driving under the influence, possession of marijuana, possession of drugs, possession of drugs in a motor vehicle, and traffic violations.  Think twice between carrying an open container in the parking lot or smoking marijuana before the show, because the undercover police officers at PNC Arts Center will arrest you.

Many of those individuals who are arrested at the PNC Arts Center are high school and college-age students. For many individuals, it is their first time being arrested or cited.
