A Warrington Township couple are facing criminal charges after what police describe as a guest-list-only Halloween bash at their Bucks County home drew an estimated 150 teenagers, many of whom appeared intoxicated.
Officers responding to the 300 block of Joelle Court on Oct. 31, 2025, said they walked into a packed house, a makeshift bar setup and a scene that one witness told investigators had spiraled out of control. Homeowners Michael Moore, 57, and Rachel Moore, 48, were processed on May 11 and now face counts of selling or furnishing liquor to minors and corruption of minors.
Police Say Guest-List Halloween Party Packed the House
According to the Warrington Township Police Department, officers were dispatched shortly after 9:08 p.m. and arrived to find roughly 150 teenagers inside the home, many of whom appeared to be under the influence.
Police records list Michael and Rachel Moore as the homeowners and show the pair were processed in May on charges of selling or furnishing liquor to minors and corruption of minors. Investigators said Michael Moore told officers he had hired a bouncer for the event, but that the bouncer never showed, leaving the couple to manage the guest-list crowd themselves.
Officers Say They Found a Full Bar Setup and Alcohol Jars
As reported by NBC10 Philadelphia, officers inside the house discovered a large bar area, numerous red Solo cups and multiple jars of alcohol scattered throughout the property. At least one witness told police the gathering "had become out of control." That witness also said some teens were turned away at the garage entrance because their names were not on the guest list.
NBC10 Philadelphia noted that the Moores welcomed responding officers into the home and cooperated with the police response.
What The Charges Carry
The selling-or-furnishing count is codified at Title 18, Section 6310.1 in the online statutes of the Pennsylvania General Assembly, which includes minimum fines, including a $1,000 minimum fine for a first violation and higher penalties for repeat offenses.
Corruption of minors is covered by Section 6301, a separate provision law enforcement commonly cites in cases involving underage gatherings, and is outlined on Justia. The booking entries and reports are allegations, and the defendants are presumed innocent while the case moves through the local court system.
What Happens Next
The Moores' arrests were processed on May 11, and Warrington police posts about the case went up in mid May, with updates published on May 20. Court dates and full charging documents had not yet been posted publicly at the time of the latest updates.
Police are asking anyone with information about the Halloween event to contact the Warrington Township Police Department. The case highlights the legal risk adults take when alcohol is supplied to minors, and investigators say the matter remains under review.
