Charges Dropped for Md. Family Accused of Hosting Underage Drinking Party

A Maryland couple and their two sons will not face any charges in connection to an alleged underage drinking party.

Police arrested George and Cathy Magas at their home in Damascus in January. They were accused of assaulting and obstructing police and providing alcohol to minors.

Their two sons also were charged.

The Washington Post reported prosecutors dropped more than two dozen charges Monday. A judge ruled the officers improperly went into the family's backyard, so observations they made would not be allowed as evidence in court.
