Loud Party Results In Unlawful Assembly Violations
A call of a loud party around midnight on the 300 block of Osage Street in Park Forest resulted in the homeowner being cited under municipal ordinance for Unlawful Assemblies due to numerous non-household members gathered in violation of the Governor’s Stay-At-Home Order, Park Forest Police said. The non-household members were directed to their own homes.
Issuing citations is reserved for egregious violations of the Order, Police stated. Hosting a party, especially one that prompts area residents to call police due to the noise, falls under this category.
Police do not want to be in the position of citing someone for hosting a gathering, a release said Saturday. “ Please follow the Stay At Home order and save the parties for the celebration when this is behind us,” Park Forest Police said.
