Carson City arrests: Pair booked after more than 60 juveniles scatter from house party

A 19-year-old man and 18-year-old woman were booked Saturday for suspicion of 10 counts each of contributing to the delinquency of a minor after a party that was attended by dozens of juveniles who were drinking was broken up by deputies, according to a Carson City Sheriff's Office booking report.

Deputies arrived to the party along with the Carson City Fire Department, according to the report. First responders on scene advised that multiple juveniles were drinking and some were throwing up on the sidewalk.

Officers learned that one of the suspects, an 18-year-old female, threw the party. When deputies arrived there were a minimum of 60 juveniles running over a four-block radius from her house party.
