The arrests took place at the band’s first show at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford; they played again on Sunday evening.

Investigators say 30-year-old Kimberly Goodman was charged with aggravated assault against two state troopers, who received minor injuries.

State troopers say there were also arrests for a wide variety of offences, including solicitation without a permit, disorderly persons, criminal trespassing, simple assault, drug possession and usage, resisting arrests, open lewdness and harassment.
