Fenton police ticket three underage drinkers

Three Fenton police cars were dispatched to an apartment in the 3400 block of Arbor Drive at 2:45 a.m. Sunday, for a report of a loud party. Chief of Police Rick Aro said, upon arriving, officers could hear noise from the party from outside the apartment.

Police contacted the homeowner and discovered several subjects who were being loud and drinking, Aro said. While talking with the homeowner, officers noticed three suspected underage drinkers, the report said. The three, a woman and two men, agreed to preliminary breath tests, he said.

After the preliminary breath tests, police found they had been drinking alcohol, Aro said. An 18-year-old woman from Davison and two 20-year-old men from Fenton received citations for drinking alcohol under the age of 21, police said. They were cited and released at the scene.
