JAY – Five people from Franklin County face charges after police raided an underage drinking party at an apartment early Tuesday at 25 Church St.

Police started a foot patrol in the area of Church and Jewell streets after people complained of loud and disorderly teenagers in late evening and early morning, police Chief Larry White Sr. said Tuesday.

Officer Mike Mejia was on patrol on foot late Monday and heard and observed a loud party at the Church Street house.

Mejia saw Josh Jalbert, 20, of 25 Church St., come out of the house with a teenage girl, White said.

“The officer heard the female yell we’re going to get more beer,” White said. Mejia then approached the couple and detected they had been drinking alcohol.

After speaking with them, he determined there were more juveniles at an apartment in the house consuming alcohol. None of the partiers was 21 years of age, he said.

Jalbert was arrested early Tuesday on a charge of providing a place for minors to consume alcohol and issued a summons on a civil violation of possession of alcohol by a minor. He was taken to Franklin County jail in Farmington and released on $1,500 unsecured bail that morning.

The 15-year-old Farmington girl who left the apartment with Jalbert was issued a summons for providing alcohol to minors and a juvenile summons on a possession of alcohol by a juvenile, White said.

Troy McCormick, 19, of Wilton, was issued a civil summons charging possession of alcohol by a minor. McCormick and Jalbert are scheduled to appear in Farmington District Court on Oct. 30.

A 15-year-old Wilton girl and a 17-year-old New Sharon boy were both issued juvenile summonses for possession of alcohol by a juvenile, White said.

The youths are scheduled to appear Sept. 17 in Juvenile Court in Farmington.
