Mom, daughter arrested for Naples house party Updated: Tuesday, March 25, 2014 4:12 PM EDT 
 
 Police investigating complaints of a loud party arrested an 18-year-old woman and her 56-year-old mother - who said she was out of town, but was found hiding in a bedroom at the home. 
 
 Officers pulled up to the house at 540 Starboard Drive in Naples shortly after 12 a.m. Tuesday. They said they immediately saw a number of people going inside, locking the doors and turning off the lights as the officers walked up. 
 
 Investigators say the 18-year-old, later identified as Mariel Weinand came out of the house to talk to an officer. They say she was extremely intoxicated and had to be held up by two other females. 
 
 The teen reportedly told officers the house belonged to her mother, and the elder Weinand was out of town. 
 
 Police were able to reach Carolyn Weinand by cell phone. She said she was not in Naples and was unaware her daughter was having a party. 
 
 Carolyn Weinand gave officers permission to enter the home and get everyone out, according to the arrest report. 
 
 Investigators say they found alcohol scattered throughout the property and a small amount of marijuana outside. 
 
 
 
 Inside, the officers found people all over - in various rooms, closets and other hiding places in the house. 
 
 They say one of the people they found hiding in a bedroom was Carolyn Weinand. 
 
 When officers asked if she was the same person they'd just talked to on the phone, she said she was. 
 
 This time, Carolyn Weinand told officers she was aware of the party and thought she was keeping all her daughter's friends safe by having the party there and not allowing them to drive after drinking. 
 
 Police say she admitted to knowing there was alcohol, but did not admit to buying it for the underage drinkers. 
 
 Neighbors are shocked Weinand would allow the party. 
 
 "I can't believe that she would say that because it is wrong, absolutely wrong - to raise children that way," said Peggy Stockwood, who lives in the area. 
 
 
 
 Officers called the parents of all the juveniles at the house to have them pick up their children. Those over 18 were allowed to leave with a sober person who was not present at the house party, according to police. 
 
 Carolyn Weinand was charged with one count of having an open house party and 26 counts of selling, giving or serving alcohol to a person under 21. 
 
 Mariel Weinand was charged with one count of having an open house party. ||||| A Naples mom is facing more than two dozen criminal charges after police say she hosted an underage drinking party at her home and then lied to them over the phone about her whereabouts. 
 
 Carolyn Weinand, 56, of the 500 block of Starboard Drive, faces one misdemeanor charge of having an open house party and 26 counts of selling, giving or serving alcoholic beverages to persons under the age of 21. 
 
 Her daughter, Mariel Weinand, 18, faces charges for having an open house party. 
 
 Police responded to the Weinands’ home shortly after midnight on Tuesday in reference to a noise complaint, according to an arrest report. Teens scattered throughout the yard and retreated into the house. Discarded cans and bottles and some marijuana were found where they had been sitting. 
 
 Officers knocked on the door and were greeted by Mariel Weinand who was unable to stand without the help of two other girls, reports said. She told police her mother was the homeowner and provided her cell phone number. 
 
 When police called, Carolyn Weinand told them she was out of town and gave permission for officers to clear the property of any partygoers, saying she didn’t know about the drinking going on. 
 
 Police entered the home and cleared out more than 20 teens before finding Carolyn Weinand hiding in a bedroom. 
 
 Carolyn Weinand told police she was aware of the party and thought she was keeping them safe by making them stay at the home. She did not admit to buying the alcohol, reports say. 
 
 Police said Carolyn Weinand continued to “make statements trying to justify having the party and allowing alcohol.” 
 
 Partygoers under 18 were released to their parents. Those 18 or older were allowed to leave with sober individuals who had not been at the party. 
 
 The marijuana found on scene tested positive and is being held until its owners can be identified, according to reports.
– Not that unusual: Cops show up to bust a teen party involving booze, and find someone hiding in a bedroom. Unusual: That person is the home's 56-year-old owner, and mother to the 18-year-old who threw the bash. Police say they arrived at the home in Naples, Fla., just after midnight yesterday, to find beer cans, bottles, and pot in the yard; as they approached, the partiers went inside and shut lights off, reports ABC7. Mariel Weinand, 18, answered the knock on the door—with the assistance of the two girls who were keeping her upright, say police—and passed along her mom's cell phone number. Police rang Carolyn Weinand, who said she was unaware of the party and out of town. She also gave them the OK to break up the party, which they moved inside to do. And that's when they say they found people hiding in a number of rooms and closets—and Carolyn Weinand hiding in a bedroom. She then changed her tune: The Naples Daily News reports that Weinand kept making "statements trying to justify having the party and allowing alcohol," per police, among them that she thought they'd be safe if they didn't have to drive. She says she didn't buy the booze, but she's charged with 26 counts of selling, giving, or serving alcoholic beverages to persons under the age of 21 all the same. Both mother and daughter were hit with one count of having an open house party. (Weinand certainly isn't the first parent to get caught at a teen party.)
