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 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.
