Ocean City Police Issue over 100 Alcohol Citations in One Night

OCEAN CITY, MD – (June 11, 2018): The Ocean City Police Department is reminding recent high school graduates visiting Ocean City to celebrate safely and responsibly without the use of drugs or alcohol. Throughout the summer season, Ocean City police conduct several plainclothes details with a focus on reducing the availability of alcohol to minors. This includes enforcing underage drinking violations.

On Wednesday, June 6, 2018, Ocean City police working this detail issued over 100 citations for underage alcohol possession, 94 of which were issued at a single underage house party. Police responded to the property, located on Pine Tree Road, after receiving a noise complaint from area residents.

Graduates are reminded that underage alcohol citations will lead to hefty fines, court appearances, possible license suspension or other serious consequences affecting future endeavors. Similar to adults, drinking alcohol can reduce an individual’s mental and physical abilities, possibly leading to injury. Additionally, underage drinking puts individuals at an increased risk of becoming a victim of a crime.

Graduates are encouraged to take advantage of the Play It Safe program during their stay. Play It Safe offers free and fun events for high school seniors. Additionally, by attending Play It Safe events, graduates are eligible to purchase a discounted weekly bus pass. To view the calendar of events, visit: playitsafeoceancity.com.

  1. They are better off smoking pot. Less chance of getting caught and penalties not as severe. Easier to get too.

  10. Old enough to die in war, not old enough to have a beer.

    Leave them alone and let them blow off some steam.

    The June Bugs have been doing it for years, it's practically a right of passage. My generation did it almost 30 years ago... and I'm sure they were doing it 30 years before that.

    As long as you weren't acting the fool you got left alone. What happened?
