ok, I'll be the first to ask...what is an ABC violation? (I am guessing "Alcohol By Children as in possession under 21?)
also it always makes me laugh when ever I see somebody who get busted for stealing something from Darien Lake because it'll cost them so much more than the $5 item they stole!

How did the Rascal Flatts concert lead to the arrest of a crime that took place over the last 4 years? I wonder if she was singing the Rascal Flatts song "My Worst Fear" as she was being led away?

I had the same question, but decided to include it since it was part of the same press release. I thought about saving it for Monday's "Police Beat" because seemed out of place here, but then was afraid I would forget it.
