3 Cited at Murrieta House Party, 1 Outstanding

Three people were cited and a search was still on for another after police broke up a Murrieta house party Tuesday night.

Officers responded to a "loud party call" at about 11:43 p.m Tuesday in the 38000 block of Augusta Drive, Murrieta police Lt. Rob Firmes confirmed.

"When they got there they saw a male through a window ingesting some sort of narcotic," Firmes told Patch.

The suspect allegedly ran from the house—located off of Winchester Road—and police were not able to apprehend him, Firmes said.

Methamphetamine was collected from the house, he said, and officers were able to obtain the identification of the suspect who ran off.

The resident was cited with a misdemeanor for the party, and two others were cited for marijuana possession, according to the lieutenant.
