Police: 105 arrested at underage drinking party

One hundred and five people were arrested at an underage drinking party in New London, N.H., on Friday night, police said.

Police responded to 81 Seamans Rd. at about 11:20 p.m. after they heard yelling and cheering inside of the home, which is about 200 yards away from the New London Police Station.

The home is leased out by Colby-Sawyer College.

State Police were called to assist in the investigation.

Fifty five of the partiers were cited for possession of alcohol by internal consumption because police said their blood alcohol level registered .02 or higher.

Police said Lindsey Randlett, 21, Margaux O'Connell, 21, and Kayla Flynn, 20, were charged with hosting an underage party.

All 55 of those charged will be summoned to Newport District Court.

College President Thomas C. Galligan, Jr. released the following statement:
"We are aware of the incident last night but have not had a chance to review everything that happened and have not made any decision yet about what processes the College might undertake. Our primary concern is with our students' education, well-being, and safety. We are grateful no one was hospitalized or otherwise injured and will strive, as we understand more, to use these events as an opportunity for community discussion and education. It is normally not our policy to pursue College Community Council processes with events that occur off campus; however, we have not yet determined what we will do in this matter. While the college's rental agreement for off-campus housing does not specifically prohibit underage drinking in my experience it is not common for residential leases to expressly mention many types of illegal conduct. That failure to expressly include does not mean the conduct is condoned."
