Details

A 16-year old boy was found injured and unconscious outside of a N. Breese Terrace house party early Sunday morning. Several who had been at the gathering believed he had been battered. The teen, who had a blood alcohol content of .22, was taken to a hospital where it was determined he had a concussion, a hematona on the right side of his head, a broken arm, and a broken shoulder. Numerous officers were dispatched to the scene. No eye witnesses could be found to say definitively what had happened to the victim. Three men who hosted the party were cited underage drinking and dispensing alcohol without a permit. Officers were told the party, which was advertised on Facebook, and at which beer cups were offered at $5 each, got out of control when many people the hosts did not know arrived. When the first officers pulled up, there were some 100 people in the street. As one spotted the squad cars, he began yelling: "The (expletive) cops are here! Get out of here!" The victim was found lying in some grass near a church, where he evidently been carried, away from the party area.
