A North Kingstown woman and lawyer is facing charges under the state's social host law for allegedly hosting a drinking party with dozens of teenagers in her home.
Police said Jayne Donegan was arrested and charged with simple assault, obstruction of justice and procuring alcohol for minors.
Police reports show police responded to Donegan's Wilbert Way home at around 9:30 p.m. Saturday after neighbors complained of teens urinating in public and drinking.
NBC10 reported that officers saw dozens of cars parked in the area and teenagers running every which way towards the woods when they arrived.
At the scene, Donegan was reportedly belligerant and tried to slam the door shut as officers knocked and screamed "You can't be in my house. I'm an attorney and I know my rights."
Some of the teens were so drunk, police felt they needed immediate medical attention.
