A bunch of teenagers found themselves on the wrong side of the law Friday night when a party in an Ashburn house got out of hand.

The underage teens were drinking alcoholic beverages and tried to hide inside the house when sheriff’s deputies arrived in response to a noise complaint, according to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office. One teen was taken to a hospital, and a paramedic treated a teenage girl at the scene after she apparently passed out during the party.

Deputies responded at about 11:30 p.m. Friday to the house in the 42700 block of Clover Meadow Court, in the Broadlands community, for a report of an underage party where alcohol was present.

Several people leaving the house told deputies that a person inside had lost consciousness, the sheriff’s office said. The deputies saw movement in the house and a female laying on the floor.

They made several attempts to contact the occupants, but there was no response. Due to concern about the teenage girl, one deputy forced open the front door, and multiple teenagers were found hiding in various parts of the home.

One teen was uncooperative with the deputies and was taken to a local hospital after he said he felt faint. He was treated and released and charged with obstruction of justice, the sheriff’s office said.
