MIDDLEBURY — More than a dozen Middlebury College students were issued civil and in a handful of cases criminal citations in an underage drinking party raid on Quarry Road late last week.
Michael Davidson, an investigator with the state Department of Liquor Control, said officers from his agency, the state police, and Bristol and Middlebury police were called to a rental property at 424 Quarry Road at about 11:30 p.m. Oct. 30.
Davidson said police found three kegs of Natural Light beer and about 60 college students at the address. Sixteen students, who told police they went to school in Middlebury, were issued citations for under-age consumption.
Five residents at the property — four of whom Davidson said were students and members of the Middlebury lacrosse team — were arrested on misdemeanor charges and issued citations to appear in Addison District Court next month. One resident has yet to be charged.
The charges against the residents include enabling minors to consume alcohol and prohibited acts; license required to furnish alcohol.
