The Summerville Police Department has released information about the arrest of several underage drinkers earlier this week.
According to incident reports, officers were called to a house on Bellah Avenue at around 2:00 Tuesday morning concerning a possible domestic dispute.
Someone had called the 9-1-1 center and reported the incident. When officers responded they found several people who were standing outside on the porch, all of whom then ran inside the house.
Officers asked Brandon Cochran who lives at the house, why someone had called 9-1-1. He stated that two men had walked up to the residence, and had confronted him, along with his guests.
Officers noticed that there was drinking going on at the residence, and asked Cochran about the alcohol. Cochran said that he was 21, however officers did breathalyzer tests on several underage suspects and found that they had been drinking.
Officers arrested 20 year old Tyra Meyers of Trion and Casey Meachem of Summerville, also 20, along with a 17 year old female for underage consumption and charged Brandon Cochran with having a Disorderly House.
Officers also found 20 year old Cody Seeger pretending to be asleep in the bed and after searching him charged Seeger with Underage Consumption and Possession of less than one ounce of Marijuana.
