McLean homeowners face charges after teen party draws up to 300 youths
Two McLean residents have been charged after hosting a large party at their home that involved hundreds of teenagers, underage drinking, fireworks, and disorderly conduct, fcpdnews.org reports.
Officers from the Fairfax County Police Department's McLean District Station responded to the 1400 block of Woodacre Drive on November 6 at approximately 9:03 p.m., following multiple 911 calls reporting a gathering that had spiralled out of control. Callers estimated between 100 and 300 people had gathered at the property.
Upon arrival, officers encountered a large crowd and fireworks being discharged. They worked to restore order and disperse those present.
Investigators determined that homeowners Lisa Vaughan, 45, and Aubrey Vaughan, 55, both of McLean, had organised the event for their teenage child. Warrants were subsequently obtained charging both with Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor and Maintaining a Common Nuisance.
The couple later turned themselves in at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center and were released on $1,000 unsecured bonds each.
Fairfax County police used the incident to remind parents and property owners of their responsibility when hosting gatherings that include minors, noting that situations can escalate rapidly and urging homeowners to take active steps to prevent underage drinking.
