Underage Drinking
Middle Holland Road by Rock Way

On Tuesday, July 10, three Holland teenagers were cited for violating the liquor law. Rachel Schenk, 18; James Buckley, 18; and a 16-year-old boy were cited after an officer on patrol encountered a vehicle stopped and blocking a lane of traffic.

Around 1 a.m., the officer saw the vehicle blocking the westbound lane of travel on Middle Holland Road between Rock Way and Holland Road. The people in and around the vehicle were seen yelling at each other. After investigating the subjects, the officer found that the original driver of the vehicle (Rachel Schenk) had been driving erratically, according to the other occupants.

The passengers made the driver pull over and another occupant took over the driving. As the vehicle continued on, the original driver, Schenk, began yelling at the new driver demanding he stop. This is when police located the vehicle.

After speaking with the occupants of the vehicle, the officer found that Schenk, along with Buckley and the 16-year-old had been drinking. The three subjects who were given citations, along with the other occupants of the vehicle—both who were 16-year-old females from Holland—were released to adults.
