A Valparaiso High School teacher was arrested and charged early Sunday after it was discovered she was hosting an underage drinking party in her home, according to The Northwest Indiana Times.
Heidi Bernardi, a science teacher at Valparaiso Community Schools, was initially charged with resisting law enforcement after she began to obstruct and interfere with officers’ investigation into the illicit drinking, according to NBC Chicago.
Officers arrived at Bernardi’s residence at 12:22 a.m. on Jan. 17 after receiving an anonymous tip of underage drinking. Upon being granted entry by Bernardi, the officers went into the house’s basement where they observed a large gathering and multiple alcoholic beverages. Officers determined that none of the guests were 21 years of age or older and subsequently arrested 17 individuals for violating the minor consumption of alcohol act, according to the Valparaiso Police Department.
