July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
By Staff Report-
Officer Jerry Hoerdt and Cpl. Ashlee Jackson were on boat patrol at approximately 2 a.m. searching for impaired boat operators when they heard loud voices coming from across the lake. Officers observed a large gathering of persons both in the water and on shore. Officers witnessed several persons who appeared under the age of 21 consuming alcohol and swimming in deep water.
Concerned that the underage drinkers who were swimming may be a danger to themselves from drowning, the officers entered the property at 9890 Bayshore Drive, Syracuse, on the southwest corner of the lake.
Officers located several minors both in the home and across the street in a separate living area who had been drinking. There were numerous beer, wine and vodka bottles littered throughout the yard and the home.
The identities of the 10 minor aged adults who were jailed are as follows: James C. Wallin, 20, Carmel; Tommaso A. Verderame1, 18, Greenwood; Melissa R. Sondhi, 19, Carmel; Jarred E. Scott, 20, Noblesville; Grace A. Kennedy, 19, Indianapolis; Christopher P. Callahan, 19, Indianapolis; Ian B. Frey, 19, Indianapolis; Emily E. Eiteljorg, 19, Indianapolis; Carey S. Kunz, 19, Zionsville; and Samuel M. Amy, 19, Indianapolis.
Officers remind the recreational users of the waterways that mixing the consumption of alcohol with boating and swimming can lead to potentially tragic outcomes. Indiana is part of a national campaign titled Operation Dry Water which takes place June 22-24 that encourages alcohol-free recreational use by the public in and around the water.
