Twenty-seven DHS students caught at drinking party, official says
DANVILLE -- Police will cite more than two dozen Danville students for underage drinking at a post-prom party discovered Sunday morning, school board President Allan Schappert says.
The party, hosted at 118 Elysburg Road in Rush Township -- the home of Joseph and Maria Harris, according to records -- ended with one student being taken to the hospital with a high blood-alcohol content, officials said.
Eight of the 27 partygoers to be cited are at least 18, Schappert said after talking with the Stonington State Police.
