Drinking Party in the Park

A parks department employee at 9:02 a.m. showed police two bags filled with full and empty Busch Light cans that were hidden under some bushes at Western and Hudson, as well as a box with empty beer cans with an address label from a specific place on Ridge. An officer spoke to the homeowner, who thinks her 17-year-old son was the one involved, according to police. The woman planned to bring her son down to the police station later that day so an officer could "have an informal chat with him," according to a report.
