Cops from 12 jurisdictions called in to break up wild house party
A house party in New Jersey spiraled so out of control that it took police officers from 12 different jurisdictions to break it up, local police said in a statement.
Police responded to a noise complaint at a house in Parsippany, NJ around 11:40 p.m. on Saturday and found more than 400 guests at the raucous party.
While officers spoke with resident Adam Gill, 21, and told him the guests needed to leave, several fights began to break out on the back deck of the house, according to the statement.
Officers attempted to break up the fights, but were “encircled by the crowd who then began pushing the officers,” the statement says.
As the situation escalated, cops called for backup. Officers from eleven other jurisdictions, including New Jersey State Police and officers from nearby towns, came to help.
Gill and his roommate James Moran, 22, were issued local ordinance violations and were released pending a court date.
