16 Police Forces Called to Bloody Wedding Brawl

NEWSER) – A wedding reception in Berks County, Pa., turned into something resembling a regional police convention when officers from 16 forces turned up to deal with rowdy guests—including the groom, who spent his wedding night in jail. From what police could piece together, the reception at a venue in Ontelaunee Township started to turn ugly when partygoer Mandi Groh punched another woman in the face after she complained about Groh allowing her drunk 14-year-old son to drink beer, WFMZ reports.

The brawl grew and, according to a police report, by the time Northern Berks officers turned up, some of the guests were shirtless and bloody, reports the Reading Eagle.

"Several people were trying to be a calming influence in all of this, but at that point, alcohol had taken over," wrote one of the responding officers, who received help from the Fleetwood, Hamburg, Penn State, Berks County, Wyomissing, Bern, Spring, Tilden, Reading, and Muhlenberg forces, among others. The first officers to arrive on the scene had called for all available assistance when the crowd "was getting riled up" and turning on them, the Eagle reports.

Four officers were injured and a total of seven people, including groom Nicholas Papoutsis, who allegedly challenged officers to a fight, were arrested. Police say the "very upset" bride was treated for alcohol poisoning and dehydration, reports the Eagle. As for that 14-year-old, he blew a 0.16, twice the legal limit for adults. What the wedding venue's owner had to say: "I wish the couple luck in the future because it's not a very good start."

Three.

She probably works in porn where neck tattoos aren't quite so frowned upon.

Hey, half of them lost their shirts in the brawl. And I’m not talking just the guys either.

Drunk 14 year olds shouldn't be drinking beer. Maybe a premium single malt scotch instead. Less of a hangover that way.

If they’re already drunk, will they really appreciate it?

1. Well, that escalated quickly.

3. All in all, the sure sign of a good time. Especially the 14-year-old with the enhanced-DUI-grade breath test. On the other hand, these folks all need to consider whether their lives have become completely unmanageable.

I have a feeling that this is a pretty average weekend for this crew.

I grew up in Berks County, and I have never met anyone that actually stayed in the Penn View Motel! I thought it was the kind of place where you paid by the hour!

One morning I went to leave for work and somehow, I got locked INSIDE my room. I called the front desk and they said I had to wait for the maintenance guy to show up...That’s how screwed up things were there. There was a lot of crime going down at night, so I figured that if I slept with my head at the foot of the bed, I would be less likely to be killed by any stray bullets coming through. Almost all of Reading, PA is a mess. Tons of illegals and other undesireable types living there on taxpayer dough.
