This is a bit "Fratty"

Cops say they eventually found 200 people on the first floor—another 50 to 75 were in the garage—with beer flowing through the floor and into the basement, per WUSA. Amazingly, a breath test for alcohol registered .09, a level above the state's legal limit for driving, in the air.

Wonder out of the $275K in fines, how much they will end up getting stuck with?

Why the hell did they all just stay holed up in the frat? Do these kids not know how to walk away or run?

They are lucky that girl didnt die from the alcohol poisoning. It could have gone from very bad to much worse.

"with beer flowing through the floor and into the basement" - alcohol abuse

I have been at a house on highland and had a similar experience.

The vast majority of attendees were AU students, but the guest list also included people from the University of Vermont and the U.S. Marine Corps, police say.

Oh, boy, drunk students AND drunk Marines. Great combo.

Sucks for this frat bro
Tyler Steinhardt, 22, ended up with 110 citations for allegedly providing alcohol to minors

I would like an answer to a two part question. How does one test for alcohol content in the air to come up with that number? And it is really possible for the air to include that much alcohol?

I am skeptical on that one to. Kinda want to call it BS.

Which is a large part of the problem.

The dude who got tickets will need to find a way to waive anybody under .095 by saying it was a messed reading since the air was considered that. That's if for some reason police said that, I can't believe that they could read that. You can't waive them and get a reading. Takes sustained blowing to get a reading, so I'm told.

So did the cops actually write out 110 citations for the providing alcohol to minors?
How did they stop at least 110 of the 275 people at the party, bring a swat team?
Did the cops really have nothing better to do than break up what sounds like a really good party?

Hope the girl was ok.
They kid that hit a cop should be in the most trouble.

Really good party usually = really loud party. I'd imagine a neighbor called it in and the cops had to do something. Also, sounds like it was going to get out of control in a dangerous way, if it wasn't like that already.

I'm all for college kids having parties, and I know I hate getting called in by neighbors when we have 10-15 people over, but this seems like a situation where police intervention seems like the only possible scenario.
