Illinois Man Arrested For Hosting Wild Underage Drinking Party

Some local police in Illinois were called about a loud party complaint, but the cops found something much worse at the house.

Illinois Police Bust Underage Drinking Party

When I was in grade school, there was a house in my neighborhood that had a rowdy party every weekend. Sometimes, even multiple times in a week. It was funny because the owner never got in trouble for the parties.

One of my friends lived right behind the party house. One night, I was hanging out at his home, and the party spilled outside. That's when we noticed that everyone attending the beer bust was all high school students.

I'm guessing some adults in the neighborhood noticed that, too, because the police showed up to the party and busted it up. They also arrested the woman who lived there. She was hosting these parties for her son's friends, who were all underage. She didn't have a job. That's how she made money.

I hadn't thought about those parties in a long time. Then I read about a man who got arrested for basically the same thing. He was hosting an underage party at his house. It got too loud, so neighbors called the cops. That's how he got caught.

According to Patch...

A 54-year-old Elmhurst man who lives in the 600 block of South Cambridge Avenue was cited about 11 p.m. Friday on charges of hosting an underage party at his house and excessive noise.

You might want to be the cool parent, but serving booze to minors is against the law, and there's a good chance you'll go to jail if you host a drinking party for kids.
