Auburn police responding to a noise complaint at a vacant house in Auburn’s Elk Grove subdivision early Sunday inter rupted a party with underage drinkers. Seven of the 17 people at the party were arrested for under age possession of alcohol. Police arrived at the house on Elk Grove Drive shortly after 1 a.m., noticed some quick movement in the garage and in the house. Then the lights went out. “Their first reaction was ‘let’s turn off the lights and maybe they’ll go away,’ which was kind of funny,’’ said Sgt. Mike Fugett. Inside the darkened house, police found no furniture, but plenty of teens. Most appar ently attend Apalachee High School. “We asked for a show of hands and when we asked who attended Apalachee, probably two-thirds raised their hands,’’ Fugett said. Almost half had been drink ing. “There was no one fall ing-down drunk; no one had reached that point, but it was going that way. It was headed ugly,’’ Fugett said. Arrested were; Stanley Bulkoski, 18, of Auburn; Sara Camp, 17, of Auburn; Elizabeth Daniel, 19, of Winder; Quindaris Deetion, 18, of Auburn; Timothy Moore, 18, of Auburn; Brian Pozowicz, 18, of Winder; and Robert Tunnell, 20, of Bethlehem. All were issued misdemean or citations and released either to their parents or to other driv ers who were determined to be sober. Anyone convicted of underage drinking in Auburn faces a fine, community ser vice hours, attendance at court- ordered classes, and manda tory essay writing, said Clerk of Court Meg Grant. “Normally, they get them all,” she said Monday. Three of the teens at the party were found to be under the age of 17. They had not been drinking, but were taken to the police department to wait for their parents. “When you have a juvenile out at that time of the evening, and they’re under 17, you take them into custody until you can get them safe and back under the control of a parent or guardian,” Fugett said. Parents summoned to the scene or to the police station appeared disappointed in their kids’ behavior and aggravated about receiving the middle- of-the-night call from police. But it could have been worse, Fugett said. “There were several cars, eight or nine. That’s nine chances of a fatality, that the booze would have taken over, and we all know what the out come of that can be.” OTHER ARRESTS Auburn police also arrested or cited the following: •Christopher Beall, 20, Flovilla, expired tag and no valid insurance. •Vincent Xol Caal, 21, Auburn, driving without a license and safety restraint violation. •Armand Joseph Leone III, 24, Hoschton, driving while license suspended. •Frankie Peppers, 22, Auburn, safety restraint viola tion. •Anand Ram Swamy, 40, Tucker, DUI 1st offense. •Ayala Adan Vega, 21, Lawrenceville, possession of methamphetamine with the intent to distribute. Auburn police investigating shoplifting at Ingles According to a police report about the incident, employees of the Ingles Supermarket at 1520 Atlanta Hwy. saw a man and a woman come into the store at 9:45. The woman took a grocery cart and “looked into the video surveillance camera,” the report states. The pair spent about 20 minutes loading the cart with a carton of Icehouse beer, a gallon of Wesson cooking oil, a gallon of Gain laundry detergent, and a 24-roll package of Cottonelle toilet paper. The couple then pushed their cart toward the exit, bypassing all of the registers. The manager followed the alleged shoplifters outside where the woman threw all of the items into a green, 1995 Buick Regal Custom automobile. Stepping between the woman and the manager, the man warned the manager to back up. Both suspects then got into the vehicle and drove off with an estimated $112 in stolen merchandise. The case is under investigation by the police department’s Criminal Investigation Division. In other incidents Auburn police offi cers responded to in the past week were: •an allegation of rape at a residence on Parks Mill Road. •a criminal trespass complaint at a home on Cobblestone Road. •a report of shots fired at a residence on Browns Bridge Road in the county. •a domestic dispute at a residence on Carter Road.
