What was reported
On October 14, 2010, the Sun Sentinel reported that about 350 underage party crashers brought alcohol to a Boca Raton home early on a Sunday after Homecoming at American Heritage School in Plantation. Within 15 minutes, students were drinking, passing out and vomiting on the property, an attorney said. At least four calls to 911 sent paramedics and police to the home.
Fort Lauderdale criminal defense lawyer Adam Harmelin represented the homeowners. His account of the evening differed from the police report on where the parents were during the party. According to the article, Harmelin and the police agreed that the couple did not know that some of the guests were drinking themselves unconscious.
