It started as just another quiet night on US 23 — until a call from the Super 8 sent deputies racing to the scene of a “room full of young people” causing trouble. Hotel staff said they’d already kicked one guest out earlier in the evening, but he came back. And this time, he wasn’t alone.
By 11:30 p.m., the room had turned into a full-blown headache for hotel management. Staff suspected heavy drinking, noise, and a lot of guests who weren’t on the reservation. When deputies arrived, the hotel made it clear — they wanted everyone out.
Inside, officers found a group of partiers along with two teenage girls. Deputies said the girls weren’t drinking, but their presence raised concerns. Family members were called to pick them up, while the rest of the group was told to pack up and clear out. The night ended without arrests, but with a clear message from hotel staff — no more parties.
💡 Why Hotel Parties and Underage Guests Don’t Mix:
- 🚫 It’s a legal minefield — alcohol plus minors can lead to criminal charges, even if you didn’t supply it.
- 📹 Hotels have cameras — your “private” party might be on video before deputies even arrive.
- 🛎 Staff will call the cops if things get loud, rowdy, or dangerous.
- 👮 Even if no one’s drinking, just being in the wrong place at the wrong time can get minors sent home to angry parents — and you into serious legal trouble.
- 💸 Damage costs add up fast — hotels can bill you for cleanup or repairs after a wild night.
In this case, everyone went home without handcuffs — but the party at the Super 8 got an early and unceremonious checkout.
