Montgomery County (web|news) police have cited a Silver Spring man and four Montgomery Blair High School students after a drinking party at the man's apartment during school hours.
Officers called to an apartment in the 1000 block of Quebec Terrace around 11 a.m. Tuesday found 32 people in the apartment, 26 of whom were underage. Police say there was alcohol at the apartment and evidence that juveniles had been drinking.
Police have cited 21-year-old Mauricio Lagunes-Campos for furnishing alcohol to minors. Police say four Montgomery Blair students, two 15-year-olds and two 16-year-olds were cited for various alcohol violations.
Police say students from Briggs Chaney and Lee middle schools and Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, Takoma Park Middle School, and High Point High School in Beltsville in Prince George's County skipped school to attend the party.
That's why alcohol should be illegal.
