River Falls Police cracked down on a group of underage drinkers at “The Falls” Sunday.

River Fall Police Chief Greg Jackson said that they are not tolerating underage drinking and partying in the town.

Two years ago, Jackson issued a warning to teens and others who may be tempted to visit the location known for its natural waterfalls.

“People need to remember that it is private property and they don’t need to be out there,” he said previously. “We’ve had some problems in the past with teenage drinking and that sort of thing.”

Officer Michael Bishop arrested:

• Joseph Lee Davis, 19, for minor in possession of alcohol;

• Ashley Preston Kelley, 19, for minor in possession of alcohol;

• Jesse David Cowen, 18, for minor in possession of alcohol;

• Afton Smith, 18, for minor in possession of alcohol;

• Anna Elmore, 18, for minor in possession of alcohol; and

• Victoria Greer, 19, for minor in possession of alcohol.
