The scenerio is all too common. An 18 or 19 year old who lives in Milton, GA has a party at his or her house. Some friends come over and someone brings some beer. The party gets a little loud and a neighbor calls the police. Milton officers come out to the house and see that there are a group of young adults and no parents in sight. So they end up busting everyone they see for being a Minor in Possession of Alcohol. Those that run away or try to hide are also charged with obstruction and are possibly arrested and made to spend the night in jail. Harsh, but true.
