It’s usually quiet in the Whitetail Ridge residential West Omaha neighborhood, but that wasn’t the case over the weekend when a party house caused chaos.
Neighbors are demanding more be done to prevent this from happening again.
Someone who lives on the block shared photos showing the police response to a large party over the weekend. They show deputies with their guns out, taking someone into custody, and the night’s ending. We counted two dozen people sitting on this driveway with their hands behind their back.
“It’s frustrating because this is the second time it’s happened with that same house,” Dan Cullinane said.
The Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office said over 100 people, mostly between the ages of 18-25, were at this Saturday night house party in the Whitetail Ridge neighborhood in West Omaha.
Deputies found empty alcohol bottles, marijuana, and weapons at the home. The noise from the massive crowd and police response woke up John Gottner.
“I’ll be honest. There was so much going on, them yelling around the streets. I went downstairs and got a pistol loaded. I didn’t carry it around anywhere,” Gottner said.
