Party House of the Weekend


 115 Belchertown Rd, Amherst

Been so long since Amherst police busted a party house for "Noise & Nuisance" (at $300 a pop) I barely remember how to write these.

Ah, blessed are the summers in a college town.  Unfortunately now over.

The 3 amigos stand before Judge John Payne Monday morning

Since this episode was their first brush with the legal system the prosecution stuck a typical deal called "diversion," where the criminal charges are diverted to civil charges, and each of the perps accepts responsibility for one-of-the-two $300 bylaw violation tickets.

$900 to the town coffers and, hopefully, a lesson learned.

Another $10,100 or 34 more tickets like this and Amherst will be able to pay for the superintendents raise.

Kind of ironic, the former owner used to call the cops on his college age neighbors all the time. That was why he sold it and moved out to begin with.
