81 people cited at underage party

Bloomington, Ind. (AP) - Indiana State Excise Police cited 81 people, including 78 minors, at an underage drinking party near Indiana University's Bloomington campus early Sunday morning.

Officers raided the party after one of the residents sold a plainclothes officer a $5 mixed drink. Excise police say state law requires a permit from the Indiana Alcohol and Tobacco Commission for the sale of alcoholic beverages.

According to police, more than 100 people were in the home, including many hiding in the garage and basement.

Police say three residents were charged with furnishing alcoholic beverages to a minor. Those cited are to appear in Monroe Circuit Court in February.
