The tip received by the Dodge County Sheriff's Office on Friday, July 22nd indicated there was going to be a party at a home on Butternut Tr. in the Town of Hubbard that Saturday.
The information received was as follows:
"Please bring as many good friends as you can it’s gonna be a rager, bring your own drugs. I like parties. I’m throwing one this weekend, lots of music beer pong and fun. If your down bring you and your friends, a bunch of people are gina (gonna) be there…., it’s going to be a project x type party….Spread the word, no cops….Going to be lit."
Sheriff Dale Schmidt indicated in a news release that the message was very concerning on a number of levels. Officials say the information received was that this was being advertised both in and out of the county. With the amount of drug overdoses and drug overdose deaths, the sheriff was not going to allow a party that was advertising drug use and rave type events to occur.
"I will not allow this to turn into another drug overdose death in Dodge County," said Sheriff Schmidt in the news release.
As a result of the tip, deputies were able to arrive at the party and shut it down early in the night. Even with the early arrival, deputies still made arrests of seven individuals for underage drinking, three arrests for possession of drug paraphernalia, and one arrest of a 20-year-old for Operating under the Influence of an Intoxicant (OWI).
