When police arrived at the Connick's house in the early morning of Sunday, Aug. 16, they saw underage partygoers running from the house into nearby woods, where officers subsequently found several empty beer cans. Georgia — who is due to appear in court on Sept. 2 — told police officers she planned to host a small get-together and did not expect it to turn into a large party.
