Twenty University students were among 22 people busted by police for underage drinking and noise violations at an early morning pool party at The Station at Milledge, police said.

According to the Athens-Clarke County police report:

ACC police officer Gene Davis was patrolling Davis Street at 4 a.m. Saturday when he heard loud music and yelling.

Davis asked for backup and approached the crowd. There were several people drinking beer and empty cans and bottles around the pool, according to the police report.

Davis unplugged the music, shined a flashlight on the group and asked who was in charge of the party. When a few of them said it was a “mutual get-together,” Davis issued noise citations to all 22 partiers.

Davis then asked how many were older than 21, and five raised their hands. When he asked how many people had been drinking, none responded. Davis questioned one at a time, and all had an odor of alcohol on their breath, according to the report. None consented to a breathalyzer test.

The 17 arrested and charged with underage possession were transported to the Clarke County Jail in patrol cars and a transport van.

Wes Rogers, president of Landmark Properties that oversees The Station at Milledge, said the police were unreasonable.

“We stand behind our residents, and it sounds like the cops overreacted by arresting them at a pool on private property,” Rogers said. “From what I hear, there’s little evidence concerning the alcohol, and we’re looking into it to help our residents.”

Attempts Monday to contact those arrested were unsuccessful.

One Alpha Chi Omega, three Zeta Tau Alpha and 10 Sigma Chi members were included in the arrests.

The following University students were arrested for underage possession: John Hillyer Jennings, Charles Douglas Bodine, Trey Patrick Dove, Adriana Michelle Jaume, Natalie Shea Lauten, Robert Webb Worthington, Heather Marie White, Michael Christopher Haas, William Bradley Head, Bradford Gregory Valentine, William Kevin Fussell, David Wilson Long, Brenton Edward Stringer, Christopher Glenn Wilson and Mindy Nicole Morgan.

The following University students were given noise ordinance violation citations: Jordan Lee Mays, Amanda Kate Goldware, William Carson Daniels, Cole Dial and Daniel Patrick Marchburn.
