Bravo is one of the many hot spots on Post Road that Fairfield students frequent, but last Tuesday night, 106 underage drinkers, most from Fairfield University and Sacred Heart University, were busted. And how did Fairfield police hear about this? None other than the Internet.
Only six of the 106 who were either seen by police actually drinking or who admitted to drinking were issued infractions for possession of alcohol by a minor. But many of the others are expected to see some charges, according to Fairfield PD. This bust comes after notice from Fairfield PD that they would be investing more time and effort to eliminating underage drinking in the area.
Fairfield PD is becoming versatile, as investing more time into finding drinking minors now includes perusing our Facebook profiles and events.
Also, about half of the students caught had fake IDs, an issue that was brought home for Fairfield when local police discovered two Fairfield University students last year were selling fake New York driver’s licenses over the Internet for $100 each.
Besides putting one of our favorite spots in danger of liquor license suspension, students should really learn from this experience.
If you are going to a party, it may not be the greatest idea to broadcast this information on Facebook, unless you want Fairfield Police or Public Safety as party guests.
