Anheuser-Busch relative, 17, accused of underage drinking

GODFREY -- A teenage descendant of the beer-making Anheuser-Busch family is accused of underage drinking in downstate Illinois.
Seventeen-year-old Adolphus August Busch the Fifth was arrested with eight other teens at an apartment party in Godfrey on Wednesday.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Busch is the grandson of the late August Busch Junior, but his parents don't work for the brewery.
The Busch family isn't commenting. The St. Louis-based brewing company also isn't weighing in, saying it has no involvement in the matter.
Investigators say the group was drinking Natural Light -- an Anheuser Busch product -- and rum.
Busch is free on $100 bond.
