ARLINGTON, Mass. -- An Arlington selectman has been cleared by police after they broke up a party of underage drinkers at her home earlier this month.

An investigation by the Arlington police found that while Selectman Annie LaCourt initially denied underage drinking was taking place, she was not guilty of criminal wrongdoing.

"Although some of her actions and comments may have been inappropriate for the circumstances, it does not appear that her actions were criminal," the report found.

However, the report also described what the officers described as a "strange encounter" with LaCourt and said she "was less than forthcoming with truthful information."

The police "felt as though LaCourt was attempting to hide something by the way she interacted with the police," the report said.

"(We) again asked LaCourt if there had been anyone drinking in the house, and she stated, 'No.' At this point, Annie LaCourt said to Sgt. Kiernan, 'This must be very awkward for you, because I'm your bosses boss', " the report said.

LaCourt eventually admitted that teens her 17-year-old daughter had invited to a party were drinking.

"Over the course of the evening, unbeknownst to me, some of the party-goers brought alcohol," LaCourt said in a statement.

The Arlington police report said that a beer pong drinking game was set up in a hallway of her home. Cans of beer were also found in the house.

LaCourt said her daughter has had parties before without incident and the household policy is that an adult needs to be home and no one is allowed to drink.

No arrests were made because police did not see any of the teens drinking.
