JOHNS CREEK COPS BUST TEENS

So much for having a “Happy Memorial Day.”

Johns Creek cops broke up a Memorial Day “lock-in” graduation party at a local watering hole, citing 36 teenagers for under-aged drinking.

Police also charged the owner of the popular restaurant Anatolia, along with here son and three security guards for serving alcohol to minors and obstructing police early Monday morning, cops said.

But owner Rabia Gungoren and her employees denied the allegations, maintaining that they did not serve alcohol to teens at the sleep-over party, that started on Sunday night.

Gungoren accused Johns Creek police of targeting her younger customers.

Reports confirmed that an officer arrived at the 10970 States Bridge Road around 2:30 a.m., noticing cars parked in the back, but none in the front lot.

Apparently one party going teen attempted to flee the scene when he saw the lawman, but was apprehended. The busted teen said he was held against his will.

More cops were called in and they demanded everyone inside exit the building, after seeing people hiding in the kitchen and restaurant through windows.

Police said it took nearly a half hour for them to get the front door opened. Once inside, officers found people hiding in a multitude of places, and said empty beer cans and liquor bottles littered the floor. A beer keg was also in the building.

Police used a breath analysis to determine if those under 21 had been drinking alcohol, and each was booked before being returned to their homes. One teen was arrested for possession of on an ounce of marijuana.

But employee Carrie McDonaugh, who also was cited for under-aged drinking, contradicted police reports.

Gungoren’s restaurant was fined last fall for serving alcohol to minors. The owner did not dispute that charge, but denied any wrongdoing at the party this go-around.
