Police say nearly 50 Morristown High School students were charged with underage drinking after a bus returning them from an after-prom party in NYC was stopped at 4 am in East Rutherford.
Bergen County police say they stopped the bus with 58 people after the officer saw things being thrown out the windows, causing other vehicles to swerve and almost crash.
On the bus, police found 2 bars stocked with alcohol & a dance floor! Overall, 48 people were charged
An unrelated Prom in 2008 here is another Similar Story!
Seven Montclair high school students- (5) 17 year olds & (2) 18 year olds were found with alcohol in their possession at the Montclair Junior Prom at Mayfair Farms. All 7 will be charged with underage drinking; the 18-year-olds will be charged as adults, said Lt. James Carlucci, Montclair Police.
Montclair police officers, who were working the prom smelled liquor & marijuana after a 36 passenger limo bus dropped a group of students off at the prom. When the limo bus
was inspected, numerous bottles were found inside student bags
containing IDs. Principal Mel Katz said he would file complaints against
students who had alcohol in their bags.
The limousine had small bottles of Bacardi Peach Red Rum, 1 bottle of raspberry vodka, 3 bottles of tequila, 1 bottle of Bacardi Grand Melon, 1 bottle of Jack Daniels, many of the bottles in small sizes.
The Moral of the Story is Underage drinking is still illegal and Schools do turn their students over to the police, so a Limo is a responsible ride BUT still does not give students attending a "School Function" the OK to drink! I am also confident that all the students involved missed their prom, got fined & also were suspended from school. Now is that any way to end 4 years of High School? Be Smart!
Cher!
