PAID ADVERTISMENT
"Student Party Alert"
Your Next Party Could Be A Bust!
Because of past party problems, the Menomonie Police and the City Council have raised the stakes.
Party noise complaints will be met with aggressive interventions that may include arrests and large
fines.
Party hosts that sell alcohol and/o r serve underage people can expect an intervention and a citation
for each person living at that address. A recent party complaint resulted in fines for each of the
hosts, totaling almost $5,000! See the fine schedule below.
All people who are under the legal drinking age and consuming alcohol may also be cited and
fined as indicated in the following table.
