WHITEWATER - An underage drinking
party in Whitewater has led to about 90 arrests.
Whitewater police say that
after Thursday's party, they're recommending charges against
several residents of the home. A Janesville Gazette report
says the charges include furnishing alcohol to minors, selling
alcohol without a license and failing to prevent underage
consumption of alcohol.
This is the second straight
year that a large-scale bust occurred just before the
University of Wisconsin-Whitewater's homecoming. Last year,
police arrested 132 people at a house party.
And in 2002, 200 youths were
arrested for underage drinking in the basement of a Whitewater
home.
Police say they focus on
preventing large-scale house parties because authorities want
to deter underage and binge drinking.
