Teens found consuming alcohol

Mader admitted to having consumed alcohol.

“Offender No. 1 (Mader) then asked to be able to go back inside his residence and get some clothes since he was in his boxers prior to being taken to intake,” Fagiana said. “... Several more underage minors were found to be under the influence of an alcoholic beverage and or marijuana, and admitted to the use of those.”

Another minor, Ryan Paul Peterson, 18, of Knoxville, handed over about 4-6 grams of marijuana, a grinder with marijuana residue inside and a pipe, Fagiana said.

“Mader was also charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor after it was determined that this was the second known ‘party’ that he had thrown within a week where underage minors, some as (young) as 16 years of age, were given alcohol and/or drugs,” Fagiana said.
