Overview
- Responding to loud music at a West Beach Boulevard rental Thursday, officers found 113 people crammed inside, Detective Carl Wittstruck said.
- While police worked to identify who leased the home, a person on a balcony poured beer on an officer, soaking his uniform and equipment.
- Officers from three agencies arrested 109 people for alleged underage drinking, and at least one person was booked on a complicity charge while four were released without charges.
- Investigators later said an 18-year-old rented the house, a detail likely to spur closer screening of short-term rentals to prevent underage access.
- Following a nearby party the day before that led to 31 underage possession arrests, Gulf Shores police publicized a zero-tolerance message as coastal towns tighten spring-break crackdowns.
