WASHINGTON (AP) – It’s a Supreme Court case that may help decide when police have enough reason to make an arrest.

It’s also a case with lots to draw your interest.

A late-night party at a vacant home in Washington with strippers and the scent of marijuana. Don’t forget the hostess – partygoers said she was called Peaches.

Justices heard arguments Wednesday, and some of them brought up their own party experiences in discussing the case.

At issue are arrests that police made at the party years ago. When responding to neighbors’ complaints, they found the home had been turned into something resembling a strip club, with scantily clad women wearing cash-stuffed garter belts.

Partygoers told conflicting stories about what was going on. In the end, police arrested 21 people for trespassing.
