WATERVILLE — Police in Maine say a dozen Colby College students received summonses off campus after officers responded to a report of people smashing beer bottles on a city street.

Deputy Chief Bill Bonney tells The Morning Sentinel officers arrived at the scene in Waterville early Tuesday and reportedly found two men under the age of 21 who said they had been drinking alcohol at a residence.

Officers arrived at the home and allegedly found that six Colby students, the renters, had thrown a party involving underage drinking.

Two renters were charged with allowing minors to drink alcohol, a misdemeanor. Four students were charged with the misdemeanor and a civil violation for drinking alcohol while under 21. Six were charged with a civil violation for underage drinking.
