The Fredonia Police Department, which released the statistics late Thursday afternoon, says the majority of the enforcement actions involved open container violations, underage possession of alcohol, and vehicle and traffic tickets. The Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Office, State Police and University Police teamed up with Fredonia Police on the enforcement effort.

The juveniles were later located and detained, and charges are pending.
