Corruption of minors
MARION HEIGHTS - Michael A. Filipczak, 22 of 1580 Chestnut St., Lebanon, was charged with corruption of minors, selling or furnishing liquor or malt or brewed beverages, and two counts of criminal conspiracy following an Aug. 17 incident at an East Clermont Street home.
According to court documents filed by Mount Carmel Township police Patrolman Matthew Filarski, officers were called to Marion Heights for a noise complaint and found two individuals under the age of 21 drinking alcohol inside the residence.
