Versailles, In. — One of the owners of the Holton area property where an underage drinking party occurred has been charged with furnishing alcohol to a minor, a misdemeanor. Witnesses told police Melissa Wilhoit gave jello shots and a bottle of vodka to one of the underage visitors to her home.
Just after midnight on June 14 police received a call about an underage drinking party in the 6500 block of Ripley County Road 400 West. When police arrived some suspected underage subjects fled on foot. Police arrested Christopher Begley, Isaiah Begley, Emma Wilhoit, Danielle Baugh, Mackenzie Black and Kylan Brandt. During the investigation police allegedly witnessed the minors playing “beer pong.”
Melissa Wilhoit and Paul Tunny were sleeping in the home when police arrived.
Melissa Wilhoit is listed as a teacher at South Ripley High School. South Ripley School Corporation superintendent Rob Moorhead told WRBI they are working with legal counsel as the case develops.
