Simone Meyerowitz's sentence included being ordered to make a $2,000 contribution to the Boys & Girls Club of Franklin and Williamson County, plus $50 fines on each of 12 misdemeanor counts, in Circuit Court with Judge Jeff Bivins presiding.
"The charges, including contributing to the delinquency of a minor and allowing underage adults to consume alcohol, stemmed from Meyerowitzs daughters 17th birthday party held last July," The Tennessean reporters wrote. "The police report stated that alcoholic beverages were served to 12 individuals ranging in age from 15 to 19 years old."
