Heringer said the 47 adults were arrested on counts ranging from buying alcohol for minors to contributing to the delinquency of juveniles. Two of the adults arrested were liquor store owners and one was a convenience store clerk. One 18-year-old man was arrested twice for contributing to the delinquency of juveniles.
