Police arrested 37 people when they raided an underage drinking party in Southington late Thursday night, despite several people trying to evade law enforcement by running inside and turning off the lights.
Police responded to 46 Pheasant Run at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday after receiving a report of an underage drinking party and saw several people run into the house and turn off all of the interior lights, police said.
As officers checked the house, they found drinking games, opened and unopened beer cans and opened and unopened liquor bottles, police said.
Of the 37 people at the house, 34 were between 18 years old and 20 years old and three were under 18.
All are Southington residents, except one New Britain resident and one Waterbury resident.
The three juveniles were also issued infraction tickets for violation for possession of alcohol by a minor.
