Guns, alcohol and white lies: Inside the ‘monthly’ parties that a Florida school principal allegedly held for teens

The children were all seen in ‘white lie party’ attire, according to police. When Florida police responded to noise complaints at a Cocoa Beach home, they discovered a few of the usual suspects behind such complaints — marijuana, alcohol — and 100 unusual ones: children.

“Parties like this happen once or twice a month,” students told police. The teens arrived at the principal’s house at 7.45 p.m. on January 19 “to help make preparations for the party,” an arrest affidavit obtained by The Independent says. When they arrived, alcohol was already available in multiple red-and-white coolers inside the home.
An hour later, police responded to numerous complaints of noise, alcohol and drug use in Cocoa Beach, Florida. When they arrived, they noticed cars stretched down the driveway, spilling into the middle of the road. Teens were consuming alcohol and marijuana.
As they began to clear out the scene, officers conducting traffic stops saw multiple kids inside the cars wearing “matching t-shirts.” They were all coming from the “white lie party,” the affidavit says. That is a trend where attendees where white T-shirts to an event with a minor lie on them.
At around 9:20 p.m., an officer called Elizabeth Hill-Brodigan, the owner of the home and principal, to inform her that minors were drinking alcohol and using marijuana at her home. She told the officer she was down the street and would take care of it, according to an affidavit.
