(ATHENS) – Agents with the Ohio Investigative Unit (OIU) charged
46 individuals during the annual Jamboree in the Hills music festival in

Most of the charges during
the four-day enforcement were for underage alcohol possession and consumption.
Other charges filed included drug abuse, marijuana, certain acts prohibited –
fictitious identification, furnishing alcohol to underage individuals and

possession of beer while being a person under 21. Agents traced the sale of
alcohol to a convenience store in St. Clairsville. Agents administratively
