Brookline Arrests: Two Teens Charged After Cops Break Up Massive Party

Two 16-year-old boys were arrested last week after police broke up a party of 25 to 30 teenagers in an affordable housing complex on High Street.

One of the teens now faces charges of assault and battery on a police officers, resisting arrest, furnishing alcohol to minors and being a minor in possession of alcohol, while the other has only been charged with assault and battery on a police officer and resisting arrest. Police have not identified either one because of their age.

According to an arrest report, police were called to 22 High Street around 10 p.m. on March 10 after a neighbor complained of an ongoing fight on the fifth floor of a rear staircase. Officers could hear loud music and voices from one apartment as they arrived but reported that the party went silent after they knocked on the door and nobody answered.

According to the report, a teenager eventually came to the door after officer threatened to get a master key from the fire department but refused to let officers inside. After allegedly observing an empty beer can and smelling marijuana coming from the apartment, an officer reportedly told the teen that he need to check on the wellbeing of the people inside and physically forced his way into the apartment.

As police searched the apartment, they reportedly found 25 to 30 teenagers hiding in several back rooms, along with more than a dozen empty beer bottles and two large containers of rum. Two of the teenagers, including the one that answered the door, allegedly became hostile toward the police and were handcuffed after pushing officers.

Police reported that “none of the guests appeared to be intoxicated or impaired in any way” and all but two of them were released. No marijuana was found in the apartment.
