A report of a young female sleeping on a front lawn of a house on Hecker Avenue brought police, who then learned that the 19-year-old had walked away from a party with underage drinking on Harbor Road. Darien police gave this account (containing accusations not proven in court):

When police responded to the report, which came in early on Thursday morning, they came upon the young woman on the shoulder of the eastbound travel side of the road, curled up and asleep. She was intoxicated, with a strong odor of alcohol on her, and also so incoherent that police couldn’t understand what she was saying. Post 53-Darien EMS was called to the scene, and ambulance personnel were able to identify the woman as a Darien resident. She remained very confused and incoherent, but was finally able to explain that she had been at a house party earlier in the evening.

A 911 call in which the caller hung up without saying anything led to police visiting a Crimmins Road home at 11:30 p.m. Sunday, where they found a teenage drinking party breaking up. No arrests were made, but parents were notified. Police gave this account of the incident:

When police arrived, they found teenagers running down the street, across the street and into a neighbor’s yard. The 16-year-old girl who answered the door at the home where the party had taken place said she didn’t serve alcohol to anyone, but some teenagers came to the house without permission, and they were allowed inside. She said she had just kicked them out because they showed up uninvited.
