The party included girls from Batavia, Geneva and St. Charles. Here's where and how they got caught.
A total of 12 local teens were cited after a drinking party this week in North Aurora, police announced today.
About 25 teens in all were at the party. Those receiving citations include four St. Charles girls, two Batavia girls and one Geneva girl.
Police issued citations to those who tried to run away once they showed up. They even mailed citations to those that were at the party and managed to flee that night.
North Aurora patrol officers responded to the incident at 9:48 p.m. Tuesday. The party was in the 700 block of Hartfield Drive in North Aurora.
A neighbor initially called it in as a burglary in progress, but police found a party with teens and alcoholic beverages.

As a Rosary High School alumna and concerned reader, I feel that it is both in bad taste and unjust to include a link in this article to "Rosary Graduates from Geneva, Batavia, and St. Charles." While Ms. Mader's actions are certainly not condoned by the Rosary High School community or the Tri-Cities Community at large, it seems unfair to attach her misstep to her former high school, and not to the university at which she is currently enrolled. Including a link to the 2011 Rosary High School graduation announcement reflects poorly on both the graduates and current students. I believe that I speak for the entire Rosary community by requesting that the link to Ms. Mader's high school be removed from this article.
