A California father’s Playboy Mansion-themed party for his daughter’s 18th birthday wasn’t just in questionable taste, it was also allegedly criminal.
San Diego County sheriff’s deputies arrested attorney Jeffrey Lake, 48, for violating a local social host ordinance, reports the Poway News Chieftan. There were reportedly as many as 200 people at the party, including many scantily clad teenage girls and underage drinkers.

In addition to restitution for law enforcement services, if Lake is convicted, he may be fined up to $1,000 and sentenced to up to six months in jail for violating the city’s social host ordinance.
