Wapakoneta Police Chief Dave Webb said an officer on patrol noticed some suspicious activity outside of the Western Inn, 13 Apollo Drive, and located the juveniles and one 21-year-old Wapakoneta male inside the room with a large amount of alcohol. The juveniles included a 16-year-old male from Rockford, a 17-year-old male from Celina, a 16-year-old male from Celina, a 17-year-old male from Wapakoneta, a 18-year-old female from Celina, a 16-year-old Coldwater female, and two 14-year-old Celina females. Prosecutors with the Auglaize County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office are reviewing the case for possible underage consumption charges and the adult for charges of furnishing the alcohol.
Wapakoneta Police Department Officers assisted troopers with the Ohio State Highway Patrol at 1:40 a.m. Saturday after a juvenile was found to be inside a vehicle stopped for a routine traffic violation. According to the report: The vehicle was stopped in the 500 block of Murray Street. The 15-year-old Wapakoneta female inside not only was out after curfew, but may face charges of underage consumption of alcohol and possession of tobacco. She was released to her parents.
