Underage Drinkers Did Donuts In Avon Lake: Police

AVON LAKE, OH — Two under age drinkers were arrested after doing donuts near a condominium complex, according to police reports.

A little after 1 a.m. on Jan. 12, police said a caller reported hearing a car with a loud exhaust driving in circles — sometimes called doing donuts because of the disk-shaped tread marks left on surfaces — near a Magnolia Lane housing complex.

When officers arrived at the scene, they spotted the vehicle described by the caller, just as it was pulling out of a residence. An officer went to the door of the home and knocked, but no one answered. Police then followed the vehicle, the incident report said.

The vehicle made an abrupt turn into a housing development and parked in a driveway, police said. The officer approached the vehicle and talked to the two men inside. He learned they did not live at the home, police said.

There were two men inside the car, a 20-year-old and a 19-year-old. They told the officer they had been drinking and were underage, police said.

Both men were arrested and are accused of underage drinking, according to police.
