MCLEAN, VA - A husband and wife from Fairfax County, Virginia, are facing multiple charges after authorities say they organized a house party for their teenage child that was rife with underage drinking and disorderly antics.
Shortly after 9:00 p.m. on Friday, November 6, Fairfax County police officers from the McLean District Station responded to a home in the 1400 block of Woodacre Drive after numerous 911 calls reported an out-of-control house party.
Callers reported that between 100 and 300 people were at the home, along with fireworks and suspected underage drinking, according to police.
Fairfax County police released bodycam footage of their response, showing one of the officers talking with 45-year-old Lisa Vaughan, who claimed there was no underage drinking taking place at the home.
“No, we haven’t had any alcohol, we’ve been making sure,” Lisa told one of the officers, who laughed and replied, “Are you joking?” When Lisa insisted she wasn’t “joking,” another skeptical officer said, “It reeks like liquor, we’ve got drunk kids walking everywhere.”
A large blast of fireworks can be heard going off in the background of the footage, prompting officers to make sure no one had been injured.
In a press release on the incident, Fairfax County police said responding officers “worked to restore order and safely disperse those gathered at the residence,” adding that investigators determined Lisa and her 55-year-old husband, Aubrey, “had organized the party for their teenage child.”
The couple was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor and maintaining a common nuisance. Both were booked into the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center and released on a $1,000 bond.
