Twelve people were arrested after a noise complaint at a Libertyville business led to the discovery of an underaged drinking party, police said.

Police responded to the Rancho Grande Restaurant in the 500 block of East Park Avenue at 1:05 a.m. Saturday because of a noise complaint. Once there, authorities said, they saw several people under the age of 21 drinking inside and outside the restaurant.

While police were investigating the complaint, officials said, an offender started to fight with one of the officers.
