ROCK HILL Eighteen people were cited for underage drinking early Sunday morning at a Rock Hill home.
The minors — all between the ages of 17 and 20 — were at a party on Ebenezer Avenue about 1 a.m. Sunday when officers arrived on a call of loud music, according to a Rock Hill police report.
Officers noted it was a "large party" and could see people inside the home who appeared to be under 21.
Officers asked one of the residents if everyone was of the legal drinking age, but the man didn't know, the report states. While on scene, officers told those who are older than 21 to leave. The people who remained admitted to drinking and had alcohol in their system, the report states.
Two residents of the house, William and Benjamin Johnston, both 21, were charged with transferring beer to a person under 21.
A 21-year-old woman also was charged with hindering police.
Winthrop Police assisted with the investigation.
