Seven people received summonses Monday after Westbrook police busted an underage drinking party on Quimby Avenue.
Police issued six summonses for possession of alcohol by a minor and two for furnishing a place for minors to consume alcohol – to Michael Posey, 23, and Matthew Strout, 19, both of Westbrook.
According to Westbrook Police Capt. Tom Roth, a parent reported the party to police, and, upon arriving at the scene, police saw several young males run into the house from the porch and pour alcohol down a sink drain. Police found three more underage drinkers hiding on the roof. Roth said others fled the scene entirely.
The underage drinkers who received summonses for possession of alcohol were Katelyn Taber, 20, of Scarborough; Dean Marshall, 18, of Gorham; Jordan Regios, 18, of Gorham, Maria Deblin, 18, of Gorham; Strout and a 15-year-old who was released to his parent.
Roth said Westbrook Police encourage parents and neighbors to report underage drinking activity. This party, Roth said, with underage drinkers on a rooftop, illustrates the potential for injury or death that is always present when minors consume alcohol.
