A Rippey woman was recently sentenced for hosting  a party this past May.

According to court documents, 38-year-old Charity Snavely pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge for a department of public health violation. She had her ten-day jail sentence suspended and was placed on probation with the Greene/Boone County Probation Services for one year. 

The charge stemmed from a party that was held in the 500 block of 3rd Street in Rippey on May 22nd. Snavely was the host of the party where ten juveniles under the age of 18 and nine that were 18-20 were charged for possession of alcohol underage and a department of public health violation. The incident occurred during the governor’s public health emergency proclamation when social gatherings of more than ten people were prohibited due to COVID-19 concerns.

Court documents show additional charges against Snavely for supplying alcohol to persons under the legal age and permit under 18 to consume alcohol on property were dismissed. She was ordered to pay over $400 in fines, surcharges, court costs and attorney fees.
