Alcohol being drunk by underage adults at a party on Salt Box Lane “contributed to” a “medical event” in which an ambulance was called in, Darien police said.
All the partygoers were below the legal drinking age of 21, and the 19-year-old host was arrested on a charge of providing alcohol to underage drinkers, police said.
In a police news release, police did not say: whether more than one person experienced the “medical event,” or or describe in any way what the medical event was, how dangerous it appeared to be, whether the person or persons was or were taken to a hospital or released from a hospital if they were taken there.
Police gave this additional account of the incident, including accusations not proven in court:
The call for medical service was made at 11:55 p.m. on Saturday, July 30. Police did not say how many people were at the house.
The host told police he had bought the alcohol and provided it at the party. After his arrest, he was released on a promise to appear Aug. 16 in state Superior Court in Stamford. The case was dismissed on Nov. 29, and he no longer has a public arrest record.
