GEARY COUNTY- Drug and alcohol related charges against 25 Fort Riley soldiers have been dropped.

The city attorney had dismissed all the charges, according to Grandview Plaza Police Chief Shawn Serrano.

The arrests involved 27 people at a loud party on Cannon View Lane on January 8.

The individuals were arrested on different charges ranging from misdemeanor Possession of Marijuana to Criminal Use of a Weapon, Hosting Minors Consuming Alcohol, and Unlawful Noise.

Twenty-one of those arrested were listed as Fort Riley residents, two from Grandview Plaza, and four from Junction City.

A check with authorities revealed when police responded to the scene there was an alleged lack of cooperation from those attending the party, and marijuana was in plain view on a table.
All of those in the general location of the marijuana were arrested. A small number of people at the party who were not in that immediate vicinity were not arrested.
