Harry Connick Jr.'s Daughter Georgia Arrested, Charged With Providing Alcohol To Minors

Harry Connick Jr.'s daughter Georgia learned over the weekend it might not be a good idea to have a party when the parents are out of town. The 19-year-old got into some legal trouble over the weekend after police showed up to a party she was hosting at the family's home in New Canaan, Connecticut.

Georgia Connick was arrested early Saturday morning and was charged with permitting minors to possess alcohol and procuring alcohol for minors, NBC reports. Officers reportedly contacted the parents of 15 party guests, all between 18 and 20 years of age, who stayed at the house while police were on scene.

New Canaan police told NBC someone called the authorities just after 1 a.m. on Saturday to report underage drinking was going on at a party at the family's house on West Road. Several empty and partially empty beer cans were reportedly found at the home.

Harry Connick Jr. issued a brief statement to People, saying the family had no further comments on the arrest. “This is a private matter which we are dealing with as a family," the singer said Tuesday. Georgia is the oldest of Connick's three daughters. Sara Kate Connick is 17-years-old, while Charlotte Connick is 13.

E! Online reports that Georgia told police she planned on having a small gathering at the home, but a lot more people ended up showing up then expected. When police arrived on scene they reportedly saw a lot of people running into the woods near the home attempting to escape. Georgia is due to appear in court on Sept. 2.

The "American Idol" judge and his wife, Jill Goodacre, were not home at the time of the party. US Magazine reports Connick Jr. was in in Philadelphia for auditions for the upcoming final and 15th season of "American Idol."
