ADAMS TWP — Police have filed charges against a township man after a wrong turn and a traffic stop led to the discovery of underage drinking and drug use at a pre-Halloween party.

Police on DUI patrol at 11:37 p.m. Oct. 27 stopped a vehicle on Route 228 after watching the driver make an illegal turn, documents state.

Police pulled over the vehicle into a driveway in front of a township residence. As officers approached to talk to the driver, they saw something suspicious through the window of the house.

Around 30 juveniles were running down the steps to the basement, with several fleeing outside the house and into a white vehicle parked outside, documents state.

Officers lept into action, giving the initial offender a warning and reportedly stopping the white vehicle before it could leave the premises.

Inside the vehicle, officers reportedly encountered a strong odor of alcohol and a group of underage individuals.
