The Loudon County Sheriff's department was kept extra
busy over the weekend responding to drinking parties on the east end of
the county. The first reported problem came in at nearly midnight Friday
night. A part was reported at an address on Turkey Pen Lane just off
Virtue Road. When officers arrived, several subjects attempted to flee
on foot. Ultimately most were rounded up. Those arrested included at
least seven subjects who were under age and at least one juvenile. An
ambulance had to be dispatched due to the extreme intoxication of some
of the partiers. One subject was injured while fleeing the scene after
running into a fence. Several arrests were made.
On Saturday night about twenty-four hours later LCSD were again
dispatched to a loud party. This time the location was Meadow Walk
Villas on Hwy. 11 across from Cusick Circle. Once again several underage
subjects and at least one juvenile were found to be intoxicated. Again
an ambulance had to be dispatched to the scene due to the extreme
intoxication of some of the partiers. As many as four may have been
arrested at this party.
There are those who would like to make alcohol even more available in
our communities. Please vote not to permit liquor stores in Loudon
county.
