Two parents face charges after police say they hosted a party in McLean with underage drinking, fireworks and disorderly conduct, authorities say.
Multiple people dialed 911 on Friday to report a large party got out of control. Callers estimated that between 100 and 300 people were there. At about 9:05 p.m. officers responded to the home in the 1400 block of Woodacre Drive.
Officers found a large crowd, including teenagers drinking and people setting off fireworks. Officers were able to restore order and safety disperse the crowd.
Officers determined the home belonged to Lisa Vaughan, 45, and Aubrey Vaughan, 55. “The pair had organized the party for their teenage child,” police said.
They were charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor and maintaining a common nuisance. They turned themselves in at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center, where they each were released on $1,000 unsecured bond.
“This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safety and supervision when hosting gatherings involving minors,” police said in a statement. “While these events are often intended to be fun and enjoyable, circumstances can change quickly. We encourage parents and homeowners to remain mindful of activities taking place on their property, take steps to prevent underage drinking, and contact police if concerns arise or a situation begins to escalate.”
