WOODSTOCK – Police broke up two underage drinking parties last weekend in Bethel and Woodstock.

After a parent’s call late Saturday night about possible underage drinking at a Gore Road home in Woodstock, Maine State Police Trooper Paul Casey was sent to investigate. Casey learned that Zachary Gallant, 20, was holding a drinking party with three minors at his home while his parents were away.

Gallant was arrested at 1:30 a.m. Sunday and charged with furnishing a place for minors to consume liquor, furnishing liquor to a minor and illegal possession of liquor by a minor.

He was taken to Oxford County Jail in Paris, where he was freed on $500 unsecured bail. Gallant will be arraigned June 11 in Paris District Court.

Others at the party who were summoned on one count each of illegal possession of liquor by a minor were 18-year-olds Gary Barnett and Michael Gould, both of Mexico, and a 17-year-old Rumford girl. The girl was released to her mother, who picked her up.

Alcohol at the party was Budweiser beer, Jagermeister and Smirnoff vodka, Casey said.

At 1:30 a.m. Saturday, Casey and Bethel police Officer Jeffrey Campbell were sent to investigate a possible burglary complaint at 960 Grover Hill Road.

Casey said they determined that two men and two young girls broke into the vacant home and were found upstairs drinking booze purchased and provided by the men.

Casey said the alcohol was Twisted Tea, Mike’s Hard Lemonade and Smirnoff vodka.

The girls, ages 13 and 15 from Bethel and Rumford, were released into the custody of their parents.

Casey arrested the two 19-year-old men, Nicholas Sumner of Bethel and Andrew Buck of Albany Township, and charged both with furnishing liquor to a minor. Buck was also charged with criminal mischief and Campbell charged Sumner with criminal trespass.

The two men were taken to the Paris jail where they were released on personal recognizance and will be arraigned at 8:30 a.m. June 2 in Rumford District Court.

Like Gallant, they were ordered not to use or possess alcohol or drugs, to have no direct or indirect contact with the girls or visit their place of employment or school, and be subject to search and testing by police.

Sumner and Buck were also banned from returning to the Grover Hill Road house.
