Bitter Beer: Police End Underage Drinking Party

Three underage drinkers in Menomonee Falls were caught at a party hosted by a 21-year-old man that got a little too loud at 11:26 p.m. Sept. 15.

Police were dispatched to a home on the W18000 block of Queensway Drive in Falls after an anonymous person lodged a noise complaint. Officers followed a trail of beer cans and identified several partygoers who appeared to be underage. The homeowner said he wasn’t aware if others were drinking under age – but the police discovered there were.

Three participants were cited for underage drinking, and the man was cited for permitting an underage party.
