Underage Arrests May Double This Year

As the number of underage drinking arrests in Mt. Lebanon is on pace to double this year, the town's district judge worries that it's only a matter of time before someone gets killed.

"I want more cooperation. I want every parent to understand this is an epidemic and we're going to lose somebody," said District Judge Blaise Larotonda, who estimates that at least 90 percent of the town's high school kids either drink or use drugs.

"I'm tired of it. There is going to be a death," he said.
