Deputies arrived and witnessed multiple juveniles fleeing the area in the street and hoping backyard fences. Three deputies split up and engaged in a foot pursuit with the party-goers. Fifteen juveniles were detained and questioned. Among the detained was a man who identified himself as the homeowner’s son.
Deputies checked the residence for evidence of a residential burglary and forced entry, since no one was supposed to have access. Deputies eventually released all of the detained juveniles.
