Adults, teens arrested for alcohol at prom party

More than a dozen people were arrested on alcohol-related charges early Sunday when Forsyth County deputies raided a prom party at a home south of Cumming.

Forsyth sheriff’s Capt. Frank Huggins said deputies, acting on an anonymous tip about underage alcohol consumption, went to the home on Westford Cove in the Sharon Walk subdivision at 1:40 a.m.

“They found a large number of juveniles in the backyard, milling around a beer keg and drinking beer from plastic cups,” Huggins said.

The adults at the home, Kimberly Whittemore, 43, and Peter Glenn Lilja, 38, were arrested and taken to jail, Huggins said.

Whittemore, who told deputies she had purchased the keg for the party, was charged with 11 counts of furnishing alcoholic beverages to a person under 21, three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and one count of “disorderly house,” Huggins said.

Lilja was charged with three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and one count of disorderly house.

Huggins said 11 people between the ages of 17 and 20 were taken to the Forsyth County Jail and charged with underage consumption of alcoholic beverages. Three 16-year-olds were charged on a juvenile complaint with underage consumption and released into the custody of their parents, Huggins said.
