There has been a surge in underage drinking parties in Rugar Woods, specifically in an area of the woods known by local teens as “Guam,” police said.
Plattsburgh police broke up two parties in “Guam,” authorities said. There were 200 teens at one party and 100 attended the other party, police said. One teen was taken to Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital Medical Center.
In addition to the dangers of underage drinking, the area is near the Saranac River, Imperial Dam and rocky ledges, police said.
