SEATTLE (Reuters) - A Washington state teenager who threw a party rife with underage drinking and drug use while his parents were away called police to intervene after a rowdy throng busted a neighbors fence and fights broke out, local media said on Wednesday.

The 16-year-old, whose parents were in Portland, called the authorities to break up his own bash after scores of revelers descended on the home on Saturday night in Puyallup, south of Seattle, local station KOMO-TV reported.

Before they entered the residence, members of Pierce County's multiple agency "Party Intervention Patrol" heard glass break and a fight erupt, and they later seized a set of brass knuckles from one partygoer.

The boy asked police for help after "as many as two dozen kids escaped from the home, broke down his parents' back fence as they stampeded across a neighbor's yard, and sprinted into a nearby forested area," Pierce County said in a statement.

Bonney Lake Police spokesman Rob Hoag supervised the party patrol which visited the home that night.

"It was not their first rodeo," he said, referring to some of the troublemakers, who he said had prior arrests. "It's easy to spread the word on Facebook and Twitter."

Police arrested 27 people aged 15 to 20 for possessing alcohol, and an 18-year-old with an outstanding warrant for driving under the influence, the county said.

It described the party as "huge," with dozens of cars outside and beer and liquor bottles strewn around the house, which also had "a strong odor of marijuana," the statement said.

He was dumb enough to throw the party, but smart enough to ask for help when it got out of control. I'd still ground his ass for life.

yeah, I get the feeling from this that one of his actually invited guests posted on FB or twitter and a bunch of people he didn't actually know/invite showed up and proceeded to trash the place. 

He'd be in serious shit if he were mine...but of a rather different flavor than if he'd just let the situation play out.

he does get points for knowing it was out of control and asking for help, but still grounded for life.

I think Maine needs a Party Intervention Patrol - a recent party at a UMaine off-campus student housing apartment complex grew to 400+ people and took 7 law enforcement agencies to break up. The town is currently brainstorming ideas to deal with this complex (frequent parties and code violations) and a P.I.P might be just what they need. Some training and a dedicated team.
