Weare, NH – Two Massachusetts doctors were arrested Sunday, June 6, 2010 and charged with hosting an underage drinking party for a high school graduation party, as reported by The Union Leader. The two doctors teach at Harvard Medical School.
Approximately 70 teenagers, mostly new graduates of St. Paul’s School in Concord, were placed into protective custody after police arrived at the party.
Police reported that J. Wesley Boyd, 46, and Theonia Boyd, 49, were charged with facilitating an underage drinking party.
Wesley Boyd claimed he hosted the party for his daughter Ariana, who graduated from the school that day. The Boyds emphasized through emails to guests that drugs and alcohol would not be tolerated, according to Wesley.
Boyd told reporters, “We were not naïve. We figured there was going to be drinking, but we would do everything we could to stop it…Our problem was we trusted these kids like we trusted our kids. Some kids abused the crap out of us.”
Police were summoned to the Boyd residence at approximately 11 p.m., Sunday, after neighbors complained of a large party. Police from neighboring Henniker, Dunbarton, Hopkinton and New Boston were called in to assist with the party, due to the large volume of underage drinkers.
Boyd said he will fight charges if police allege he knowingly provided spirits or allowed for the consumption of such.
