3 hospitalized following prom party

Cornwall (AP) - Connecticut state police say they arrested a Cornwall man who held a teen drinking party at his house over the weekend, and three were so drunk they had to be taken to a hospital.

Ralph Dzenutis is charged with permitting a minor to illegally possess liquor on his property and risk of injury to a minor. He was arrested Sunday.

Troopers say 80 to 100 young people attended the party after a prom at Housatonic Valley Regional High School. Police didn't let the youths drive home and spent several hours contacting parents to pick up their children.

Police say the three hospitalized teens are recovering.

A message was left at the 48-year-old Dzenutis' home Monday. He's free on bond and is to appear in court on May 26.
