Let's Take This Party Mobile

ROCK HILL, S.C. (AP) — Police found more than they bargained for when they stopped a U-Haul truck with a burned-out taillight.

Instead of furniture in the back, police on Monday found a rolling keg party with about 20 people drinking whiskey and beer. Eleven people were charged with underage drinking.

"They all kind of froze and didn't know what to do, I guess," officer Robert Marshall said.

The partygoers told police they rented the truck for someone's 21st birthday party because the bars were closed. The moving party was traveling streets without a particular destination.

The truck's driver first told police he was hauling a couch for a friend, according to police reports. But Marshall said he became suspicious after hearing scratching noises in the back of the vehicle.

The truck's driver was charged with reckless driving because the people in the back could have been injured, police said. Officers allowed the partygoers to call for rides and no one was arrested.

Yup! I first heard about this on the radio. Local talk show host was reading the article, sentence by sentence. But offering his comments in between. It was quite comical. At the end he said - aw, that's nice, no one was arrested.

I had to laugh at the first excuse - I'm hauling a couch for someone. A couch, if they had one, full of people drinking beer!

Now I don't condone underage drinking, but you have to admit this was a novel idea.
