Four men will face misdemeanor charges in Mentor Municipal Court Tuesday in connection with a drinking party Friday night at Uncle Bob’s Storage.
Additionally, five underage teen-agers, four 17-year-olds and one 16-year-old, will face misdemeanor charges in juvenile court.
Jamie Jubek, 18, of Mentor, was cited for underage consumption and possession of alcohol and for possession drug paraphernalia, according to Mentor Police reports.
Ryan Jeric, 18, of Euclid was cited for underage consumption and possession of alcohol and for providing a place for underage drinking.
A witness called Mentor police after seeing teens parking in a nearby lot and crawling underneath Uncle Bob's fence.
When officers arrived, they could hear loud music and shouting coming from the unit, as well as a single extension cord.
Police disconnected the cord and the music stopped. Then the overhead door on the storage unit opened.
Police saw about 15 teenagers partying in the unit.
The teens had set up a beer pong game inside of the unit, as well as couches, chairs and a Christmas tree of beer cans, according to police.
Two other adults charged with underage consumption and possession of alcohol are Neil Gallager, 19, of Willougbhy and Maxwell Spittler, 18, of Painesville.

I would like to make a comment please. Other than the under age drinking, why is it so bad for someone of age to have a party in a storage unit? Most likely they will not disturb the peace because most houses are not near the unit, the bad thing would be drinking and driving and if they made a mess and did not clean up after it and such. But none of these to me has anything to do with making the place bad. Heck after the party make it a huge tent and have everyone spend the night, LOL. God bless.

"why is it so bad"...It's not a question of why or whether it's good or bad. It's against the law. If you break the law and are caught you can expect to pay the consequences.

People are not supposed to LIVE there. It sure looks like it's a hangout for kids. BAD idea...

To answer Karl, the only thing that comes to mind is that storage units aren't "habitable" structures. ie: the building code allows them to be missing a few things that a house must have, most notably a bathroom. Obviously, electric is another. Besides that, who cares? They got busted because they were doing something against the law. The cops were doing their job, and were investigating a phoned in report, so there's no reason to come down on the police. The kids will get some juvi probation and hopefully catch some s**t from their parents, and it will be over. Pretty much the same thing that's been happening since the dawn of time. I'm sure all these high and mighty commenters around here are regular Ned Flanders in their own lives, and never did ANYTHING like this or anything they wouldn't be proud of if it got in the paper.

"I'm sure all these high and mighty commenters around here are regular Ned Flanders in their own lives, and never did ANYTHING like this or anything they wouldn't be proud of if it got in the paper."...Were you referring to me? I was only commenting to Karl because many (most?) law-abiding citizens do not see victimless crimes in terms of good or bad. An example would be such laws as speed limits which those otherwise law-abiding citizens break everyday. However, they are usually not suprised when they get a ticket.

I'm glad these hooligans are finally out of my unit. That Ewais kid would always fall into the walls and cause thousands in damage. Also, I'm so glad that Spittlers been apprehended. Now I can sleep at night.

Im sorry I don't understand. There were four teens apprehended but who is this ewais? Was he the leader of these "fat kids" and why hasn't he been caught? The city of mentor is being overrun by these no-good-beer-drinking-weed-smoking youths. I'm glad the police finally caught these hooligans. They're lucky I wasn't the one that opened that big blue door

These Units may seem like a good idea but let me tell you they are not. When i was about 15 i went to my first unit party. Before I even took 5 steps in that door i was shot in the eye with soap and I lost all vision in my eye for ever. It is now 4 days later and i am still in shock of how much this is effecting my life... Moral of the story is to make sure if your going to a unit is to make sure your using you black op skills to dodge the potentionally dangerous soup bubbles. Or you can just make sure you dont go on the bubble night. Ville Night. Mo's Bush. Hayleen White.

It has been reported that these boys were just holding their NBA Fantasy draft at old Uncle Bob's storage unit. They threw down a few brews too to make the whole thing a little more fun. By the way, here were the top 5 picks: 1) Gilbert Arenas. 2) Anderson Varejao. 3) Vince Carter. 4) Kwame Brown. 5) Jerry Sandusky.
