Canton Teen Cited for Open House Party After Police Find 50 Teens in Basement

Canton Police were dispatched to a complaint of a loud party with possible underage drinking on the 45000 block of Larchmont, according to a police report. 

Police found a group of teen-aged boys and girls in front of the house, but when they asked who lived at the address, the group quickly went inside and closed the front door. Police asked the teens to get a resident through the door, according to the report. 

Beer cans littered the front porch and officers smelled marijuana at the home, the report said. 

Police entered the home through the back doorwall, which was left unlocked, suspecting a possible home invasion. Police found about 50 teens hiding in the basement, the report said.

One teenager told police he lived in the home with his mom and produced mail with his name and the current address. Police also verified the teen was in the Plymouth-Canton Schools system, according to the report. 

Police found multiple unopened beer cans and other alcoholic beverages in the basement. Additional officers were called to check all the teens in the basement with a breathalyzer. Three teen-aged boys blew positive blood alcohol content (BAC) results, according to the report. 

The resident blew a zero on the breathalyzer, the report said. He was issued a citation for an open house party and police watched as remaining beer and alcohol was disposed of, the report said.
