Rave at Laser Tag Business Ends in Arrests

Based on a tip from State Police, Middletown Police raided a Sunday-night rave being held at A New World Laser Tag, on Main Street, and arrested three individuals with possession of a hallucinogenic drug, sale of those drugs, or intent to sell.

The rave was not sponsored by New World Laser Tag. The space was leased to independent producers who hired DJ's, and managed the event as an independent event.

The rave, a kind of dance event which typically draws participants by invitation only - often over the web, drew hundreds to Main Street on Sunday night.

At 11:00 PM, detectives who were conducting surveillance at the event, observed that there "were numereous narcotics being used and sold at the party."

Three individuals were arrested. According to a press release from the Middletown Police Department they are:

Kevin Boyd, age 24, of #105 Spring Trail Drive in Coventry CT, was arrested and charged with Possession of a hallucinogenic drug, possession of a hallucinogenic drug with intent to sell, and interfering with an officer.

Alexander Schroeder, age 19, of #415 Mohegan Avenue in Quaker Hill CT, was arrested and charged with Possession of a hallucinogenic drug, and sale of a hallucinogenic drug.

Michael McDonough Jr., age 30, of #1 Harned Road in Somerdale NJ, was arrested and charged with Possession of a hallucinogenic drug, and possession of a hallucinogenic drug with intent to sell.

All individuals were released on $5000 dollar bonds and issued court dates of 12/4/09.

In total Street Crime Detectives seized 23.1 grams of hallucinogenic mushrooms, 3 dosage units of Ecstasy (MDMA), and 0.3 grams of Ketamine; all 3 narcotics are powerful hallucinogenic substances.
