More teen arrests expected from Barrington drinking party

01:00 AM EDT on Tuesday, April 22, 2008

BARRINGTON — Two people were arrested, and more arrests are expected this week after eight teenagers were found drinking near Brickyard Pond Saturday evening.

Police Chief John LaCross said an officer was on foot doing a “party patrol” when he came across the gathering of underage drinkers around 5:19 p.m.

Two were arrested that night: one Barrington girl, whose name is being withheld because she is 15 years old, and Corey J. Place, 18, of 416 Sowams Rd. Both were charged with underage possession of alcohol. Place will be sent to District Court. The child will go to Family Court.

The group also included a second 15-year-old girl, a 16-year-old boy, three 17-year-old boys, and a 19-year-old man.

The police arrived to find more than a dozen beer cans on the ground, a 30-pack with more empty cans on the ground, and more than 15 full cans of beer in backpacks.

LaCross said there were also a couple of bottles of Gatorade that tested positive for alcohol, probably vodka.

“They were trying to kick [the empty cans] into the pond when the officer arrived,” LaCross said.

“We will be charging more people as a result of the investigation this week,” he said.
