The annual country music festival, Country Thunder, begins on Thursday and Pinal County’s sheriff has a few warnings for concertgoers.

“If you’re coming to Country Thunder, remember two things: There’s only one way in, one way out. And my traffic units are going to be out there in force,” Sheriff Ross Teeple said in a Facebook video. “Don’t drink and drive. Don’t do illegal drugs and drive. You can get a DUI on private property.”
