Intoxicated Teen Sleeping on Roadside Leads Cops to Underage-Drinking Party Scene
|
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.
