Eugene, Oregon Police Find Teen Girl Drowning in Bathtub During Underage Drinking Party

Police say they arrived just in time to save a young girl from drowning in a bathtub.

(EUGENE) - Eugene police say an underage drinking party in north Eugene could have turned deadly Friday night if officers hadn’t arrived when they did.

Police were called to a report of an out of control party, and when officers arrived at the home in the 4800 block of Spring Meadow Ave in north Eugene, they found several underage teens in the home drinking.

What was more disturbing is when officers went upstairs they found a bedroom locked from the inside.

Once they got it open, they found a 16-year-old girl nude, lying face down in a bathtub, with her head just below the water’s surface.

When they pulled her out, she was unconscious, but breathing. They called paramedics who rushed her to the hospital. She was later released to her father.

A man who was inside the bathroom with the teen at the time of the incident, was arrested on an outstanding DUII warrant.

If you make a statement like that we are led to believe you witnessed that, it would be good to use a name with this kind of a post to establish credibility.

Editor's note: it is important with news Websites to always distinguish the difference between the story and the comment section. It is not uncommon for people to post important, relevant facts about stories, but they are still comments about the story and not part of the actual story itself, thanks.
