Gulf Shores Police in Alabama busted two huge house parties this week, arresting more than 140 people, mostly for underage drinking. One wild moment had an officer getting drenched in beer from a balcony above. It kicked off Wednesday night around 11 p.m. on West Beach Boulevard. Cops showed up to over 100 partygoers, many under 21, with alcohol everywhere. They napped 31 for possession, plus one for helping out and another for resisting. Meanwhile, the second bash led to 109 more underage possession arrests. One complicity charge, and four folks let go without charges. Runners scattered, but plenty stuck around. These uncontrolled crowds stretch police thin, spark safety headaches, and bug the neighbors, say officials. They are hitting back hard against the illegal vibes. Expect more crackdowns to keep the peace rolling in Gulf Shores.
