Several law enforcement agencies met at a Washington residence after someone posted new of a large party on Facebook. Eight people were arrested for being under the age of 21 in possession or under the influence of alcohol. An arrest for driving under the influence was also made as attendants left the party.
If convicted, drivers under 18 years old will loose their license for one year or until they turn 18 years old. A judge may also choose to confiscate the underage driver's vehicle. In all cases the driver will have to pay fines of several thousand dollars, and attend driver's safety and alcohol abuse related classes. Subsequent convictions will lead to harsher penalties.

| 13-Year-Old Girl Arrested for Investigation of Driving Under the Influence |

A 13-year-old girl was arrested after a high speed chase that ended when she crashed. She is under investigation of driving under the influence, evading arrest, and possessing brass knuckles. The chase began when an officer pulled up behind the 13 year old's vehicle. The officer said two boys and two girls got out of the vehicle and then the girl sped off. The teenager continued to drive erratically until she sideswiped a slower car causing her SUV to flip and tumble into a tree.
Under the Zero Tolerance Law in California, a underage driver with a BAC reading of 0.01% or higher gets you arrested and your license confiscated. You will lose your license for a year, pay thousands in fines, and you will be required to attend driver's safety and alcohol abuse related classes. If an underage driver has a BAC of 0.05% or greater, they could be charged with a underage DUI and a regular DUI.
