"I don't like rave parties . . . all they are is a place for kids to get messed up and hurt," insists Sgt. Terry. He urges that the biggest problem with the easy access to drugs made on the street is "you never know what you are really going to get." On June 24, residents of Eagle Mountain were subjected to a rave party held at the South field of the Cedar Valley Airport. Reportedly the gathering gather-ing attracted 500-700 party-goers party-goers and lasted until at least 5:30 a.m. , Sgt. Terry reports four vehicles vehi-cles were stopped leaving the Cedar Valley Airport rave party and the drug ecstasy was confiscated con-fiscated in at least three. According to Brent Davis of the Cedar Valley Airport, the people peo-ple who made arrangements to host the party were very well organized and made all arrangement in advance. They also cleaned up afterwards. The party organizers hired their own security for the party, including a Utah County Deputy to stand guard over a vintage plane which is housed at the airport. Jack Guthrie, of Skydive Utah which operates out of the Cedar Valley Airport, insists the party organizers were clean-cut and well-mannered. They claimed to be coordinating coordinat-ing a party for singles who didn't did-n't want to go to bars to meet people. Guthrie insists the airport people were not aware that the party was going to be a rave party. Sgt. Terry also confirmed the Lehi Police Department recently recent-ly responded to a rave-type party held in the parking lot of Albertsons in Lehi. According to Terry, rave parties are difficult diffi-cult to stop. "Having a party is not against the law ... it is a constitutional con-stitutional right to assemble peacefully," he says. However, it is against the law to distribute illegal drugs and alcohol to minors, or to drive under the influence.
