The teens were charged with underage consumption Sept. 9, 2010 by the Butler County Sheriff’s Office after they attended a football game while intoxicated, according to a police report.
Administrators found the 17-year-old students under the influence of alcohol after talking with them, the report said.
The students stated they all put money together and drove to 215 Stillpass Way in Monroe, which is in the Lakota Local School District. Gloeckner bought alcohol for them, the report stated.
She is the mother of a Lakota student who was not with the students found under the influence, according to police.
Three of the girls involved attended the sentencing, which was delayed due to the absence of the defense lawyer.
He showed up 15 minutes after the victims left.
One victim’s mother spoke about how the incident almost wrecked her daughter’s future.
“Although the girls were obviously not in the right ... if the opportunity would not have been presented to them, it would not have happened,” she said. “It was devastating to our family and all the families involved.”
If people are caught providing alcohol to minors, they will be prosecuted, School Resource Officer Deputy Doug Hale said.
“Parents just need to understand they can’t do that,” he said.
Hale said underage drinking is a growing problem, and he hopes parents and adults are getting the message that they will be held liable.
This is the first time in his career that he has been able to catch and charge a parent.
“I’ve just seen a big increase in (underage drinking) this year,” he said.
