Oak Forest Juvenile Stops Underage Drinking Before it Starts
Jose M. Perez, 51, of the 15800 block of Leclaire Avenue, was cited for allowing nearly 20 juveniles to drink at his Oak Forest home. The party was thwarted when a separate juvenile called police about the group throwing bottles.
An Oak Forest man faces an ordinance violation after almost allowing approximately 20 juveniles to have an alcohol-fueled party in his home's detached garage Jan. 18.
Jose M. Perez, 51, of the 15800 block of Leclaire Avenue, was cited by police for allowing underage drinking at this home. Police were called after a report, from another juvenile, of others throwing bottles out of the home's detached garage, according to the report.
At the home, police found approximately 20 juveniles in the garage, with alcohol also inside. Police performed portable breath tests on the juveniles, but all came back negative for alcohol, according to officers.
Perez told officers he wasn't aware of the severity of undersge drinking, and would not let it happen again.

How do you get cited for an ordinance violation if nobody violated the ordinance.
How can the police write a citation for "almost allowing approximately 20 juveniles to have an alcohol-fueled party"? This does not make sense and will most likely be tossed out of court.

Thanks for pointing it out, Bob. I missed the profanity. It has been addressed. Feel free to email me if it seems as though something as slipped by me.
I try to be present in the comment thread as much as possible, but sometimes it's more difficult than others.

Luis, just so you and your friends know, the cops and politicians on your case also drank when they were "underage". It's completely normal. Now you'll have to drink out in the woods or in vacant lots. Or save your money and travel to a more civilized country. The US has the highest drinking age In the non-Muslim world.
