On Sunday, Jan. 19, police in Cocoa Beach were called to a home where a large party was taking place, Cocoa Beach Police said in a press release. There they allegedly found more than 100 juveniles in matching t-shirts, many of whom were consuming alcohol that was later learned to be available in coolers at the residence, police said.
Officers found one juvenile on the front lawn “experiencing an alcohol related medical event,” police said.
“The juvenile was so heavily intoxicated that Brevard County Fire Rescue (BCFR) had to respond to treat them,” according to the release.
Officers identified the homeowner as Roosevelt Elementary School principal Elizabeth Hill-Brodigan, 47, of Cocoa Beach, police said in the release.
