Party hosts ignore cops, handed $54,000 in fines

Snubbing police officers is not nice, and now hosts of a downtown house party may pay the price.

A Feb. 4 house party at 621 E. Johnson St. netted five people a total of $54,000 in fines after police arrived, but no one would answer the door.

….All those ticketed had not reached the legal drinking age. Citations were for noise, furnishing alcohol to minors, dispensing alcohol without a permit and underage drinking.

(Among those ticketed was UW-Madison student Kale Bodendein, 19, of Lone Rock.)
