Cocoa Beach, FL – Two individuals, including a local elementary school principal, have been arrested following an underage drinking party involving more than 100 juveniles at a residence identified as the home of Elizabeth Hill-Brodigan, principal of Roosevelt Elementary School.
The incident occurred on January 19, 2025, when Cocoa Beach Police officers responded to reports of a house party with underage attendees. Upon arrival, officers discovered over 100 juveniles at the scene, many wearing matching t-shirts and consuming alcohol, which was allegedly made readily available in coolers throughout the property.
While police investigated the party, a juvenile was found on the front lawn suffering from an alcohol-related medical emergency. Brevard County Fire Rescue (BCFR) was called to treat the individual, whose level of intoxication required significant intervention. Officers also observed Hill-Brodigan exiting her residence to turn off outdoor lights and re-entering her home while first responders were on-site, raising questions about her involvement.
During the response, a nearby traffic stop related to the event resulted in the arrest of a juvenile for driving under the influence (DUI).
