A noise complaint against a residence on Planceer Place led to a handful of alcohol arrests there and more alcohol and drug-related arrests at another home on Kirton Turn in Peachtree City early Saturday morning, police said.

Police first responded to a Planceer Place residence and arrested several teens for underage possession of alcohol, said Maj. Mike DuPree of the Peachtree City Police Department. Dr. Ann Eggert Payne, 52, a local pediatrician, and Ann E. Byrnes, 18, were also arrested for interfering with a police officer and maintaining a disorderly house since there was alcohol at their home at the time, DuPree said.

The following Peachtree City residents were arrested at the scene for underage possession of alcohol: Adam Robinson, 18; Jason Kemmerer, 18; Barbara Perkins, 18; Aaron Masanotti, 18; Jacob Crawford, 18; and Michael Colletta, 17.

Several other people ran away when police responded, and a search for one of those youths led police to the Kirton Turn home, DuPree said. Two Peachtree City residents at that home were arrested for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, he added.

Juan P. Hernandez, 42, and Tamara Hernandez, 41, were arrested for felony possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of materials for the purpose of inhaling marijuana, DuPree said. Johnnie M. Hernandez, 17, was arrested for manufacturing and distributing marijuana and underage possession of alcohol.

The following Peachtree City residents were also arrested there for underage possession of alcohol and possession of marijuana (less than one ounce), DuPree said: Daniel Coulter, 18; John Buckley, 18; William Brecher, 20; Randall Klimetz, 18; Marc Nonni, 17; and Jason Pace, 17.

In both cases, police found groups of youths standing outside the residences, DuPree said. During the first incident, an officer was injured while chasing one of the fleeing suspects, DuPree added.
