Indoor air at a Maryland frat house tested positive for alcohol.

The booze-filled party location's air was found to have an alcohol concentration of 0.01. 0.08 is the legal blood alcohol limit for driving.

The home was the American University's home for  Sigma Alpha Epsilon, WJLA reports.

Officers were called to the home by neighbors who were bothered by the loud music coming from the party. Upon arriving, eight people locked themselves in a bathroom and one jumped from a second-story window.

The windows were covered with trash bags and insulation while some empty containers were everywhere. The floor of the basement was sticky from spilled alcoholic beverages.

Six students were charged with 126 counts each of furnishing alcohol to minors and allowing minors to possess alcohol. The charged students did not say how they obtained the amount of alcohol in question as all six of them are 20 years old.

Officers breathalyzed all of the party goers outside, some of whom were only 17 years old. A breathalyzer detected the airborne alcohol inside the home.

The American University chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon bills itself as "the true gentlemen." On Facebook, the event was advertised as "Tequila Tuesday Hoy a las 22:00."
