Underage drinking in the parking lot led to 91 arrests at Saturday evening’s concert by country singer Brad Paisley in Chula Vista.

Chula Vista Police had warned via Twitter on Saturday afternoon that they would step up enforcement efforts, saying “CVPD will be enforcing ZERO TOLERANCE for underage drinking and public intoxication at the Brad Paisley Concert today at Sleep Train Amphitheatre.”

Working with California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control agents, police made most of the 91 arrests in the parking lots of the amphitheater.

Police said 85 people were arrested for underage drinking, four adults were arrested for furnishing alcohol to minors, and two minors were arrested for possessing fake IDs.

All of them were later released with misdemeanor citations or pending court dates, police said.
