Adams Man Facing Second Charge of Furnishing Alcohol to Minors
ADAMS, Mass. — Police have charged three people on a variety of charges resulting from a party on Thursday that they say included underage drinking.
According to a press release on Monday, officers on the evening shift Sept. 10 responded to a noice complaint at local residence and found the occupant, a 24-year-old man, and about 10 others, many of whom were under the age of 18. The officers say there were "many juveniles that they recognized from the community to be in fact under the age of 21 and not able to possess alcoholic beverages."
One of the partygoers, an 18-year-old Pittsfield resident, ran upon arrival of police and was caught down the street, according to police. This person was arrested and charged with disturbing the peace, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest. It was later determined that he was on pre-trial conditions with an GPS ankle bracelet for an armed robbery (firearm) while masked. He was transported for booking and held on $1,000 cash bail until court the following morning.
Another teen, a 17-year-old North Adams resident, was charged with assault and battery on a police officer. He was arrested and later released to his parents with charges to be filed in Berkshire Juvenile Court.
The adult host was charged with furnishing alcohol to minors, transported to the police station and held on $1,000 cash bail.
He appeared in Northern Berkshire District Court to next morning to answer to the charges regarding this incident of disturbing the peace, and furnishing alcohol to minors.
