Huge House Party Leads to Numerous Arrests and an Assault Charge

RCMP busted a boisterous house party Saturday night, making several arrests.

Around 10:30 p.m., Vernon RCMP received a complaint of a loud party on Rimer Road. When several officers went to the scene, they found around 250 people partying in an empty house whose renters had been evicted. Both adults and youth were arrested at the scene.


Additionally, one 17-year-old male assaulted one of the RCMP officers at the scene. Though he ran away, a police service dog team located him and he was arrested. The teenager will be in court on February 23 for charges of Cause Disturbance, Assaulting a Police Officer, and Resisting Arrest.

According to RCMP, the party caused a lot of damage to the empty house.
