Duxbury Police report children from across the South Shore celebrated the start of the new year at a bash on Federal Eagle Road last night when officers showed up to promote the party.
Police say they were able to identify 17 of the young people coming from a variety of South Shore towns, but that additional teens were able to manage to escape from police.
Zachary Hamadeh, 18, and a resident of the party house, is charged with distributing alcohol to minors and is likely to face additional charges for violating Covid-19 party restrictions.
Police add that they have notified local schools and public health officials to make an impact. School officials in other Massachusetts towns, when faced with similar parties, usually switched homeschooling for two weeks.
Innocent, etc.
