Cops: Mystic Teen Ran Party House, Now Charged With Felony

By Ellyn Santiago

Unbeknownst to the owners, neighbors and police, for the last year, an Osbrook Point house has been a party house; a place where kids went to drink and, it turns out, destroy.  

Stonington Police, after an extensive investigation, which included interviewing more than 35 witnesses, some multiple times, have charged 18-year-old Cullen Faulise, of 28 Meadowbrook Lane with first-degree criminal mischief, second-degree criminal trespass and sixth-degree larceny.  

SPD Det. Cody Floyd said Faulise was, and will be, the only person charged “because we found that he was the one most responsible, not only was he hosting the parties, but he was instigating (others) and performed the majority of the damage.”  

Locally owned, the furnished house was not inhabited and had no power. It wasn’t until the owners came to check on it in March that the damage was discovered.

And that damage, which Cody estimates might be as high as $100,000, was of a grand scale: broken granite countertops, sheetrock riddled with holes made by fists and “other instruments,” broken door handles, light fixtures and switches, thermostats, wires ripped out of walls and ceilings.


And then there was the evidence of the type of parties held: feces left standing in toilets without water, used condoms littered throughout the house, broken bottles scattered, urine on walls and floors and "a lot more."      

“It is unbelievable they went to this extent,” Floyd said.  

How could it have gone on for a year?  

Floyd said, “You’d be shocked at what people see and do not report,” he said.

But in this case, Floyd said, “I think neighbors were so used to seeing all the activity – it was so consistent – that maybe they didn’t think anything of it. We never got a call."    

Floyd said what police learned was that the parties started out small and “unfortunately, escalated and certain people really took advantage,” he said.  

Police did not find evidence of drugs at the house, he said, but plenty evidence of drinking. Floyd agreed the parties were likely alcohol-fueled.  

“It’s absolutely important we found this and have shut it down …(it’s) unfortunate that it did go on at all.”    

Floyd said the victim is having the house cleaned and repaired and will give police a dollar figure on damages.  

Faulise was released on $10,000 bond. He is set to return to New London Superior Court May 28.
