Senior Beach Week is a popular June event in the DC Metro area in which many area graduates and other young people take to area beaches in celebration. Unfortunately, it’s a tradition associated with an increased incidence of binge drinking, underage drinking, unprotected sex, and illicit drug use. A 25-year old Bethesda Soccer Club coach spent Beach Week at Dewey Beach and wound up in hot water this year, arrested on 18 counts of endangering the welfare of a child, among others. He also faces several charges of maintaining a dwelling for the use of illegal drugs, providing alcohol to underage people and disorderly use of a dwelling. All of the charges stem from a party that the coach, Nino Marcantonio, allegedly sponsored for several recent graduates and their friends.
