Weekend party at Capitol Forest results in 3 arrests, 2 calls for medical aid, WSP says
Three adult teens were arrested over the weekend at a large party in Capitol State Forest, according to Washington State Patrol.
Medical aid also was called for two people who were “heavily intoxicated,” said Trooper John Dattilo on Tuesday.
About 12:20 a.m. Sunday, five troopers were dispatched to the C-7000 line in Capitol Forest, which is northwest of the Triangle Pit and west of Delphi Road.
They arrived to find 20 vehicles and multiple people, including three men, all 19, who were later arrested, Dattilo said. Forty-five to 50 people were at the gathering, Sgt. Jermaine Walker said.
Two of them were booked about 1:40 a.m. on suspicion of displaying weapons and use of firearms by minors, according to Thurston County jail information.
A third man was booked about 2:45 a.m. on suspicion of a minor in possession and/or consumption.
Although aid was called to the scene, it wasn’t clear if the two intoxicated people were treated at the scene or taken to an area hospital, Dattilo said.
