MINOT – An investigation continued Tuesday into a weekend party on Woodman Hill Road that led to the arrests of three people and 31 more who were summoned.

Androscoggin County Sheriff’s deputies spent part of the day referring some of the juvenile suspects to a program that could help them avoid court action by attending education classes instead.

Police said there were roughly 75 people at the house at 38 Woodman Hill Road on Friday night with a supply of liquor, beer and drugs. When the house was raided, police arrested two men and a woman and began issuing summonses.

Nobody was hurt during the bust, although one teenager who fled into the woods later required hospital treatment for an allergic reaction to poison ivy.

On Tuesday, investigators released the names of the 19 adults who were summoned at the party on charges of consumption of alcohol by persons who are underage. They are:

• Zachary Kimball, 19, of Mechanic Falls;

• Lucas Bartlett, 18, of Mechanic Falls;

• John Parker, 18, of Norway;

• Shawn Briggs, 20-years-old the night of the party, of Sabattus;

• Stephanie Baril, 18, of Poland;

• Zachary Bisbee, 18, of Poland;

• Heather Foss, 18, of Minot;

• Emily Spence, 18, of Poland;

• Michael Cuneen, 18, of Livermore Falls;

• Jonathan Lecznar, 19, of Poland;

• Andrew Labbe, 20, of Poland;

• Corey Goodell, 19, of Poland;

• Brent Cary, 20, of Livermore Falls;

• Jamison Howe, 19, of Poland;

• Jason Lehr, 20, of Raymond;

• John McVane, 19, of Mechanic Falls;

• Kathleen Simpson, 20, of Minot;

• Jason DePalma, 20, of Auburn.

Arrested on charges of disorderly conduct the night of the party were Thomas Harrison, 20, of Minot, and Brandon Brown, 20, of Poland. Kristen Simpson, 19, who lives at the home, was charged with providing a place for minors to drink and was summoned on charges of possession of marijuana and sale or use of paraphernalia.

The juveniles charged have not been named. They have been given the option of going to classes through the juvenile diversion program offered through Healthy Androscoggin, according to Deputy Dan Vachon, one of the organizers of the investigation.

Vachon said the investigation is continuing this week and that more charges are possible.
