The Country Thunder music event is under way near Florence. Crowds are expected to reach 100,000 during the four-day event.

To make sure things run smoothly and keep people from driving drunk, the Arizona Department of Public Safety will be assisting local law enforcement.

The DPS DUI Enforcement Unit and DPS officers will be teaming up with the Pinal County DUI Task force and the Florence Police Department in a multi-agency saturation in and around the area of Country Thunder through the weekend.

DPS said that in previous years, there have been numerous arrests for impaired driving, underage alcohol consumption and other violations.

The four-day festival features Country Western music entertainers that perform live shows.
