21 cited for underage drinking at Lake Zurich party

Lake Zurich police cited 21 teenagers for underage drinking at a party Saturday night, officials said.

Deputy Chief Kevin Finlon said officers responded to a noise complaint in the 400 block of Cromwell Court at 10:20 p.m. Saturday and stumbled upon the large, juvenile party.

Officers spoke with numerous individuals at the party, Finlon said, and determined that several under the age of 21 had consumed alcohol.

Cited for underage possession or consumption of alcoholic liquor were:

Jonathan D. Mularz, 18, of the 200 block of Knox Park Road in Lake Zurich; Kevin M. Schaar, 19, of the 1300 block of Country Club Road in Lake Zurich; Bradley M. Iwicki, 19, of the 2100 block of W. Highland Drive in Lake Zurich; Austin J. Braun, 18, of the 500 block of Ripplebrook Court in the Lake Zurich; Jeffrey T. Schultz, 18, of 59 Mionske Drive in Lake Zurich; Kevin J. Lapean, 18, of the 500 block of Waterford Drive in Lake Zurich; Christopher A. Watson, 18, of the 700 block of Red Bridge Road in Lake Zurich; Blake A. Stezkal, 18, of the 900 block of Colonial Court in Lake Zurich; and Zachary J. Ullman, 18, of the 300 block of Whitney Road in Lake Zurich.

Also cited were Jeffrey R. Reasner, 19, of the 800 block of Warwick Lane in Lake Zurich; Tamar Rekvinashvili, 18, of the 1200 block of Bristol Trail in Lake Zurich; Joseph J. Dailidas, 19, of the 1000 block of Berkshire Lane in Barrington; and Matthew A. Wallor, 18, of the 1000 block of Cedar Creek Drive in Lake Zurich.

In addition, eight juveniles received citations for similar violations, but their names were withheld by police because of their ages.

Individuals cited will be required to pay a fine or attend a village adjudication hearing if they want to dispute the allegations.

Finlon said it is the policy of the Lake Zurich Police Department to thoroughly investigate all reported incidents, and are dedicated to eliminating the dangers associated with the consumption of alcoholic liquor by those that are underage.
