Police Reports: Cops Break Up Underage Bash, Arrest 3 Young Teens

A large number of young teens from Tosa and nearby communities were having quite a get-together Saturday night, including alcohol and, apparently, marijuana, when the police showed up.

As a result, three boys, a 14-year-old and a 15-year-old from Wauwatosa and a 15-year-old from West Allis, were arrested for underage drinking in the 1100 block of Honey Creek Parkway, and several girls were questioned and released.

At 10:53 p.m., a patrol officer spotted a boy and girl walking near Chestnut St. and Kavanaugh Place. They ran when they saw him, and he chased them down Dewey Hill to find a gathering of about 20 kids at the bottom, most of whom also scattered.

Two girls, a Wauwatosa 14-year-old and an Elm Grove 15-year-old, remained and were cooperative, and were released to their parents.

Another 14-year-old Wauwatosa girl was found nearby, was also cooperative, and was likewise released to her parents.

But the three boys were found hiding in the brush along the creek. All smelled of alcohol, and each blew a .07 on breath tests.

Police also found an unmarked prescription bottle nearby containing .4 gram of marijuana, but because multiple subjects had run past the location and could have tossed it, none of the boys was ticketed for that.

Each of the three was given a citation for underage alcohol consumption carrying a fine of $114.

In the end, four police officers were involved and six parents were rousted out to recover their children. The first officer’s initial contact was seven minutes before curfew.
