PAYNESVILLE -- One arrest was made and 15 people were cited for underage drinking after the Meeker County Sheriff's Office broke up a party at 3 a.m. Sunday at a rural home south of Paynesville.
A 19-year-old suspect from Belgrade was arrested for disorderly conduct and underage drinking.
Ten of the underage drinkers were age 18. They came from a 20- to 30-mile radius, including the towns of Becker, Belgrade, Hawick, New London, Paynesville, Roscoe and Willmar.
Five juveniles under age 18 -- two girls and three boys -- also were issued citations for underage drinking, and a sixth male juvenile was ticketed for fleeing on foot.
