Four Arrested at Darien Lake Thomas Rhett Concert Including Violent Assault

Authorities confirmed that four people were taken into custody during the Thomas Rhett concert held at the Darien Lake Amphitheatre on August 7th with charges that included assault, driving while intoxicated, and criminal trespass.

According to the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office, one incident turned violent when a 27-year-old man from Niagara Falls, Ontario allegedly struck another individual causing injury. The altercation occurred just before 11pm leading to the man’s arrest on a single count of assault.

A separate case involved a vehicle collision outside the venue. Police said a 38-year-old woman from Lackawanna hit another car while attempting to leave Darien Lake around 11:30pm. Following an investigation, she was charged with driving while intoxicated.

Two other arrests involved criminal trespass. Deputies reported that a 24-year-old Buffalo man re-entered the amphitheater at approximately 7pm after previously being removed from the grounds. He was taken to Genesee County Jail for processing and issued an August 19th court date.

The second trespass case involved a 24-year-old man from Westfield, Pennsylvania. Authorities said the incident happened around 9:45pm when deputies responded to a disturbance in the parking lot.

“Deputies responded to a disturbance in the parking lot of Darien Lake. Security was on scene and advised Herman he needed to leave the property,” the sheriff’s office stated. When the man refused to leave, officers arrested him.

All four individuals are scheduled to appear in Darien Town Court at a later date.
