Last week, the residents at 518 W. Mifflin St. were pumped for the street’s annual block party. But today, after police shut down their backyard house party – featuring a live band and a pig roast – they were feeling a little deflated.
“We were kind of bummed after that happened,” said Ted Horstick, one of the organizers.
Sometime this week, 11 people who organized the party are expected to be handed fines totaling thousands of dollars for a variety of municipal violations, including procuring alcohol for minors, dispensing alcohol without a license, and knowingly allowing underage persons to consume alcohol.
