This year's Country Thunder event brought a "flood" of arrests, according to Pinal County Sheriff's deputies.
Nearly 200 people were arrested for a variety of drinking violations during the outdoor, four day country music concert. The concert wrapped up Sunday in Florence, Arizona, where the event is held every spring.
Deputies made 186 underage drinking- related arrests. Another 22 people were arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, according to deputies.
The average blood alcohol content of the people arrested was .20, that's more than twice the state's legal limit.
