The walls are so covered with graffiti that it is hard to tell the color. He began a campaign to not only hold the teens responsible, but to address the problem of teen alcohol and drug use. He says 200 partygoers have been identified, and the last 100 will be in the next few days. The walls are so covered with graffiti that it is hard to tell the color.

Holloway says parents threatened him after he posted pictures of their children online in an attempt to hold them accountable. "Parents are upset with me when their child was in my house ... taking drugs, using roofies and drinking, and they're going to be upset with me?" he said.Holloway says parents threatened him after he posted pictures of their children online in an attempt to hold them accountable.

Holloway invited the teens to be accountable and help clean up his home. "Only one student showed up," Holloway said in disbelief. "Is it a statement about us as a community? If you take our temperature as a community, we get a failing grade. How is there no accountability?"Holloway invited the teens to be accountable and help clean up his home.

"I thought it was a joke," he told CNN.


According to a news release, the six suspects, who range in age from 17 to 21, turned themselves at the Rensselaer County Sheriff's office.

Three of those arrested are accused of stealing a granite eagle statue and are facing felony grand larceny charges.


Two others among the six arrested are accused of trespassing and providing alcohol to children.

Brian Holloway said the 300 teens at the party did more than $20,000 damage to his home.


He said some of the kids had been to other parties at his house.
