287 Grantwood Drive
In spite of the perfect weather that prompted large outdoor gatherings of alcohol fueled events over the long holiday weekend the individual party house scene was pretty tame, only one. Although APD had a total of 20 arraignments in Eastern Hampshire District Court on Tuesday, mostly alcohol related.
5 young ladies stand before Judge O'Grady but are not arraigned
Judge O'Grady insisted the Assistant District Attorney deal with all the students who did not have a record prior to arraignment in order to keep their records squeaky clean. But the deals he made for all five residents who were arrested at 287 Grantwood Drive was the usual plea deal:
Pay the town's $300 Noise Bylaw fine, take the UMass "Brains at Risk" program, and stay out of trouble for the next four months and the original arraignment will not even take place although all of them have to return to District Court on August 19th.
After doing this for the kids arrested in Whitmore, I don't see how the Court had a choice, but why charge them $300 when the other perps paid a whole lot less?
