Broome Housesitter Charged After Party

A Chenango Forks resident was arrested after police received a report of a party involving underage drinking.

Authorities say 20-year-old Dana Ferranti was supposed to be watching a house while the owners were on vacation.

Investigators say Ferranti instead hosted a party at the residence. Ferranti also was accused of causing damage to the property.

According to the Broome County Sheriff's Office, Ferranti was charged with criminal mischief and criminal nuisance.

Ferranti was taken into custody Monday before being released pending court action.
