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."

Well, it was a great party until the first punch was thrown....
Yeesh, there’s a real roll call of Mensa...
I see 3 broken noses ... This wasn’t their first rodeo.
Must have been one of them Meth Weddings
I think when you have 14-year olds with BAC of .16 and the bride is treated for alcohol poisoning, there are better places to look for the cause.
And two visible neck tattoos..aka “job stoppers.”
Hey Son, hold Mamma’s Beer!
Never can tell.
Sounds like it wouldn't have been much of a wedding night anyhow.
If they allowed minors to have alcohol, they need more than a night in jail

Oh, come on, now ... they could have puked on the floor together, passed out in the same bed, and awakened with matching headaches.
It would have been romantic.
While reading this, Radiohead’s “Punch Up at a Wedding” played through my head.
Damn...I always miss the best parties!
