LOCKPORT — STAFF REPORTS

One teen was arrested and 12 others were listed as “persons of interest” at a underage drinking party at 2 a.m. Friday on Ernest Road.

During an investigation of a missing person report, the Niagara County Sheriffs Office was advised of a drinking party on Ernest Road. The officers could hear music and see lights on inside the residence at the time of arrival. After officers knocked on the door, the occupants of the residence turned off the music and the lights and refused to answer the door, the report said.
