Law Enforcement Kept Busy on Taylor Swift Concert Nights at Gillette Stadium

Arrests at Taylor Swift concert keep police busy.

Summer concert season kicked off with a bang in Foxborough last weekend along with the number of protective custodies.

More than 100,000 fans packed into Foxborough over a two day period for the concert, June 25-26. 21-year-old Taylor Swift, attracts a young crowd, which Gillette Stadium took under consideration by offering parental drop-off and pick-up parking stations. 

To many concert attendees, the show went off similar to a "fairytale," but to the 118 people taken into custody, the concert ended like a nightmare.

Police took 78 people into custody on Saturday night with 35 arrested on criminal charges and 43 taken into protective custody for intoxication. Out of the arrests, only two were older than 26 while the rest were under the age of 21. 

As expected, Sunday's concert saw less arrests - 40 custodies in all. 10 of those were criminal charges. 

Next up for Foxborough is a two-day country music festival at the end of August.
