Two people were charged for allegedly organizing and hosting a large underage drinking party in Donora on Saturday.

Elijah Malik White, 18, of Donora allegedly invited the group, who were mainly under 21, through social media. Tonya L. White, 35, of Donora lives at the Liberty Avenue residence where the party was held, police said.

Donora police received an anonymous tip about the party, which included social media photo and video invitations. The images allegedly showed Elijah White drinking, making an “alcohol run” and a person mixing “jungle juice,” a drink made of various types of alcohol and fruit, according to court documents.

Tonya White answered the door when police arrived just before midnight and told police people were smoking marijuana and drinking in the basement, according to court documents.

Kyla Davis, 19, of Donora is charge with lying to police about her age. Davis allegedly told police she was 21 but admitted she was 19 after she was told she would be charged with providing alcohol.

Elijah White is charged with eight counts of furnishing liquor to a minor and six counts of corruption of minors. Tonya White is charged with corruption of minors. Davis is charged with false identification to law enforcement.

Charges were filed Monday before Washington County Magisterial District Judge Mark Wilson.
