Really, Associated Press? From a story about stickers that are attached to “nuisance” houses in Narraganset, Rhode Island:
The police, meanwhile, have continued to distribute the stickers while the court case continues, including one last month for an underage keg party involving a game of “beer pong.”

There you have it. Come on now, AP.
