911 Hang-up Leads Darien Police to Investigate Party

Police came across an alleged underage drinking party after investigating a 911 hang-up call July 19.

Police were dispatched to Crimmins Road and saw juveniles running down the street.

They went to a residence and spoke to a 16-year-old resident who said she invited people over, but didn’t provide alcohol, police said. She said wasn’t the person who called 911.

Her father was away.

Officers found red solo cups in the kitchen area, but no alcohol, police said.

Two female teens, ages 16 and 17-years-old, were found in a vehicle not far from the house. They initially told an officer they were babysitting, but later said they were at the party. One of the teens had red and glassy eyes, police said.

Police found two fake licenses in the teen’s wallet. She said she obtained them on a website. A bottle of vodka was found in a canvas bag and the teen told police that it didn’t belong to her.

Police also found a small amount of marijuana, paraphernalia, a lighter and eye drops in a small purse.

No one was charged at the scene, but future charges are possible, police said.
