Room No. 316 of the Wingate hotel on Cobb Parkway was recently the scene of a raucous Sweet 16 party, according to police.

So much so that the birthday girl’s mother was arrested on 24 misdemeanor counts because police said she rented the room and left her daughter to party with friends.

A police warrant alleges that there were 27 people, all but three of whom were juveniles, inside the hotel room when they arrived later April 27 after other guests had complained about the party.

The cops said they found two empty wine bottles and 10 grams of marijuana.

The mother is also charged with criminal damage because there was trash all over the room, food “smushed” into the floor and marks on the walls.

She bonded out of Cobb County jail for $11,220 about 20 hours after being arrested.
