Carson City arrests: Pair booked after more than 60 juveniles scatter from house party

A 19-year-old man and 18-year-old woman were booked Saturday for suspicion of 10 counts each of contributing to the delinquency of a minor after a party that was attended by dozens of juveniles who were drinking was broken up by deputies, according to a Carson City Sheriff's Office booking report.

Deputies arrived to the party along with the Carson City Fire Department, according to the report. First responders on scene advised that multiple juveniles were drinking and some were throwing up on the sidewalk. Fire department personnel escorted several juveniles to hospital, including one who was found in the backyard shivering and passed out on the ground.

Officers learned that one of the suspects, an 18-year-old female, threw the party. When deputies arrived there were a minimum of 60 juveniles running over a four-block radius from her house party. Carson City patrol deputies who stopped the juveniles within that radius learned they were all minors and under the influence of alcohol, the arrest report states.

A minimum of 10 juveniles were cited on scene and at least 20 juveniles were released to their parents with no citations, the report states.

The female who threw the party was inside a room in the residence, hiding from law enforcement, with several other juveniles. She was arrested. The second suspect, a 19-year-old male, was found outside the residence. He was also arrested and taken to jail. Bail: $637 each.
