Police: Dad jumped out window to avoid arrest for underage party

whata stupid guy, give him the( loser) father of the year award

Nice! One of those "friendly" dads.

way to go dad!

Party Patrol, what a joke.

This seems a little excessive. I can see giving the parent a warning, but 17 & 18 year olds drinking alcohol, supervised, doesn't strike me as a big deal. Eighteen is old enough to vote or fight and die overseas, but not drink?

Well, I hope that this guy has lots of money and is well connected, because if not, he's screwed.

I have a term I use called Chadults. It's amazing to me how many there are in this country. Are they reliving there high school years? Are they trying get acceptance and friendship from their kids by acting like this? It's quite sad, actually. My neighbor's house is the 'teen" hang out. The kids can pretty much do whatever they want over there in terms of drinking and smoking. I guess that's the easy way to go with parenting.

wow

Hate to see the conflict of providing a safe environment for teenagers to drink (which they will find a way to do anyways) vs. knowingly letting them go out on their own. Shame..

Father of the year.

Is Kathy not the track coach now? At the time she was...????

Frakking ridiculous.
Five teenagers having a beer under adult supervision is not a party. It is a way to help curb the binge drinking that is killing these kids once they leave the home. We have really screwed up our sensibilities when we allow police to enter someone's home because they saw an adult standing outside the house with a beer. And yes, 18 is an adult. And for that poor woman to be forced to resign is an embarrassment to the Hudson school system.

People from any other country on Earth would find this article totally bewildering. "Party Patrol" should be a sequal to the movie "Super Troopers", not an actual law enforcement division.

The wife was right to resign as track coach if she cannot coach her husband's running better...

That father should be commended for letting his son and friends drink at his home. It's much safer to do that in a controlled environment in the house rather than letting them go out and drink elsewhere and then drive home drunk and do other stupid things.

The police should focus on more important things than that. For example catch all the tax evaders cheating our system making the rest of us pay more.

Kind of ridiculous that we're such prudes about alcohol that men jump out of windows to avoid being arrested.

Is keeping Natty Ice out of an 18 year old's hand really worth this sort of effort?

Why are tax revenues being spent on efforts to combat underage drinking? With budgets being slashed left and right it is a wonder this program was not first on the firing line.

Must be pretty boring out there in Hudson. These numbskulls should have made sure kids were in the back yard, not the front.

'jumped out of a first floor window' Did he jump out or climb put? What a stupid headline. Don't believe the hype.

Way to go Dad! Nice example you are setting for your kids!

Barney Fife would be proud.

How stupid, don't let the cops in your house. I am glad there is no real crime going on in hudson. I am sure the cops would rather be fighting real crime and not baby sitting. Please let the cops do thier real job and let parents do thier job. Be a man and don't jump out your window. Sad very sad.

He must have been impaired to think he could get away by jumping out of a one story window.

How stupid and what a waste of time and money. The drinking age needs to be lowered badly to get rid of this social stigma that you can't handle alcohol until you're 21. Apparently you can smoke and handle a gun beforehand though eh? Idiots...

Its no wonder Mrs. Viniciullo resigned... her husband couldn't even run away with a big head start. I guess shes's not much of a track coach.

~~sigh~~ Alcohol is involved in so many stories these days - from this police beat story, to Meredith's lovelorn correspondents who get themselves in trouble by drinking on dates.

Great. "Party Patrol" nabs 5 high school kids drinking in a house. What a rediculous waste of resources and demonstration of our police state attitude towards alcohol.

What a loser. If you think you should be able to serve drinks to minors than stay and face the music. Don't jump out the window.

glad to see this is how the police are spending our tax dollars and their time...

Face it: most problems with kids can be traced back to moronic adults like this prize, Mr. Vinciullo. If my father had been the type of guy to dodge responsibility by allowing underage drinking then abandoning his family by trying to jump out a window and hide, I'd probably have some pretty severe problems. I feel bad for his kids more than anything.

Five kids drinking under adult supervision? Am I the only who thinks reputations shouldn't be ruined for this?

why should the wife have to resign? What if she did not know about the party?

What a loser ... Think about what his stupidity has cost ... his wife's coaching position; his son now has a criminal record, and he'll probably lose out on any scholarship money he might have had coming if he went to college. All for what? To be the "cool dad"? Now he's the laughingstock of the neighborhood.

Kids are going to drink no matter what. I drank in the woods and on golf courses in High School. We use to fire water in the heating vernty in the bathroom of our high school for dances. Kids will find a way to drink no matter what.

OMG

Party patrol? Waste of a unit....

Thank God the brave cops stopped these kids and this clearly horrible man! HOW DARE they drink alcohol? Don't they know what a horrible crime this is (ok, so what if it's only a crime in the USA and a few barbaric Middle East Countries)?

Didn't Bob Ryan have a story about this guy in the sports section this morning??

hilarious!

sounds like a good episode for "when good teen drinking parties go bad!" I hope they had the COPS cameras on this guy when the caught him in the woods!

I remember back when I was grown up, remembering my parents saying if I was going to drink they prefer I did it under their supervision. 1) It prevent me from doing something a lot worse 2) It taught me how to be a responsible drinker. Granted they never provide me the alcohol or allow me to invite friends over for a drinking night.
I think by allowing his son to drink while under his supervision he might had prevent a death to an innocent person or themselves. What these crack down are doing, is pushing our young adults to underground party where they are dieing. This is just another case of the government tell us how to raise our own children.

When will these parents ever learn? How many kids have to die before parents step up and take responsibility? You're supposed to be their parent, not their friend.

"party patrol?" come on, they should only be going there if there was a complaint. hiding a beer under his jacket? How did they know? He was hiding it!

I would hope real cops would be busy protecting citizens from real dangers, would we prefer these kids in their cars driving around-preventing iunderage drinking is about as useless as the war on drugs-get a life. To the parent-not too bright, running from your home. Go upstairs and let them prove the kids were not acting alone.

Why could this ever be considered newsworthy? Maybe if it was a 3 story window... but one story?

The newspaper is dying and you are hastening its demise.

It's a good thing the police weren't making these arrests in 1977-78. If they had, all the best people in my posh little coastal town(in Mass.) would've been out of work, in court and humiliated.

Maybe it's not a good idea to support teen consumption of alcohol, but gay marriage and pot smoking are not great ideas either, but are legal in your state.

"party patrol" give me a break, How bout you cops protect us from murderes and rapists. oh' thats right I now why, becouse cops dont protect anybody. Cops just cruise along in there pimped out police cars with lights that cost tens of thousands of dollars, while the rest of suffer through a great economic crush.

Underage drinking while illeagal, im not sure that warrants a party patol.
Thanks police for showing everybody just how useless you are.

Too bad he isn't a better runner

Yes. I would be much better to have them drinking outside of the home unsupervised and driving. This "crack down" is idiotic and will lead to the unsafe behavior associated with underage drinking.

And they wonder why high school students drink and drive.

Gotta respectfully disagree with post 5 (Rob). It is a big deal when underaged kids drink. They are not ready for it, they can't handle it, they will have to drive home to Mommy and Daddy drunk, and it sets a behavior pattern that will be difficult to break when they are older. I knew a lot of kids who binge-drank underage when I was growing up (I'm now 49) and the ones that are still alive are pretty messed up. Letting kids enjoy "illicit" alcohol tells them that it is ok to flout the law and disregard their own parents' rules. The father knew he was a screwup - why else jumpt out a window?

Regardless of one's thoughts on 18 being OK to drink because those that age can go to war, the fact remains that our state says it's against the law. Therefore, actions contrary to that law should be punishable. To me, worse than the actual drinking is the example of an adult to teens that people can pick and choose which laws to abide by and which ones to break. Sorry, Tim.

I have a term I use too, I made it up- ansi-human. It's anyone who is happy living an unexamined life, unable to evolve, or consistently displays unenlightened, childlike "me first" social behavior into adulthood. Many seem to be headed backward or downward on the social class scale instead of elevating themselves and those around them. For instance, this guy, who knows he's dong something wrong, as evidenced by his childish escape out the window, yet can't help himeself, and may even convince himself that he has the right idea about kids and alcohol.

See, now these folks may seem smart, but they're only smart for an ansi-human. Eventually, they will get themselves, and usually others, into trouble- like this guy has.

The real shame here is that my tax dollars are being used to fund a "party patrol" to break up good times that kids are having. Seems to me that there is a lot of fluff to cut from our state budgets before we start increasing the taxes. This is absurd. If these kids need a place to hang out and drink, they are welcome at my place.

FREE ROCK N ROLL PARTY DAD!

DOWN WITH THE PARTY PATROL!

Awesome. I am stoked to know that the "Party Patrol" can come cruising into your home after "allegedly" seeing beer under someone's coat outside. Detective work at its finest. I guess at this point we are unfazed by the prospect of having your home unjustly entered by professional snoops, but still shocked that 18 year olds drink beer.

So it is illegal to drink alcohol under adult supervision on private property?

The real crime here is the state grant to fund a "party patrol."

When I was in high school, my parents would allow me to occasionally have friends over and drink. Each time though, they took the car keys of everybody that came in, and checked in periodically to make sure nobody was wasted. They were also smart enough to keep kids out of the driveway and front yard. Though we never had an issue with the heat, I'm sure if we did my dad would have had a much more sensible response: "I don't know what you're talking about, officer. Goodnight."

What a shining example of parenthood.

Gern, four of those kids were not the father/party host's kids. So yes, it is. It is illegal to provide minors -- who are not your own children -- with alcohol. That something happens on private property does not turn an illegal act into a legal one. "I know I killed him, your honor, but it was on my own private property!"

People who crack that this is no big deal because kids will drink are missing a very big part of parenting: MODEL GOOD BEHAVIOR. Teach respect for the laws, teach facing up to the consequences of your choices. Good heavens, since when do we make our parenting decisions based on the idea that kids will do a lot worse if we don't give in to them when they want to do something illegal??

If and when they left the "supervised" drinking get together and got behind the wheel of there car would you all be laughing so hysterically? If they killed themselves or someone else you would be calling for the fathers head....can't have it both way.
The law is the law....some don't make sense but we don't pick and chose what we will and wont follow.....
Read up on some high school and college binge drinking stats then make an intelligent post.....

Too bad...he almost got away with being the cool dad throughout his son's HS years. Those kids would have been off to college next year, and nobody ever would have been the wiser. I am not being sarcastic. I am totally for supervised drinking. This police state on alcohol is completely ridiculous. Go to Europe and compare and contrast. Binge drinking/alcohol poisoning/alcohol-related deaths among youth/teens/twenty-somethings is virtually nonexistent there. Nuff said.

The Police State is in full swing. Its bad enough that criminals rove the neighborhoods looking for houses and cars to break into. Now citizens in their homes and on their property have to be wary of the gangsters in uniform with little to do except harass citizens in order to fill up the "for-profit" penal colonies.

ARE YOU FREAKIN PEOPLE TAPPED! I'm hoping the hoorays are from minors. If you are adults, you have a screw loose. I'm a parent in Hudson. We trusted our children to those two people! I have it from a reliable source that after they won the states last year, they had a pizza party at their house, and the beer was flowing that night too. This is not a one time thing. If you want to let your own kid drink, under your own roof...your business. When you decide to give that right to other peoples kids you've crossed the line. My hope is that the house in on the market and they leave town. Least they can do.

Wow this is pretty sad. I live in Hudson and go to Hudson High School and stuff like this is not common in Hudson. The dad jumped out the window because he thought he wouldn't have to get involved. Underage drinking is bad but when a parent is there supplying the minors, well, that's just messed up.

To all of your folks who say it is acceptable for under 21 year olds to drink, I will say this. It is all fun and games until someone gets hurt. All too often young people get hurt. That's one of the reasons this is illegal and police agencies spend time and money enforcing the law.
