It all seemed so innocent: Some guy threw a party for 1,500 of his closest friends last week, and now he’s in trouble for turning his sprawling estate into a makeshift bar. A Hugh Hefner wannabe named Steve Mathieu is in hot water for throwing the “Make It Nasty Mansion Pool Party,” which he advertised on Twitter, at his family abode. Tickets were $20, pool attire was a “must,” and bottle service was available. Police say that he isn’t allowed to sell alcohol on his property without a license. It apparently took six officers to break up the bash. Mathieu says it was a fundraiser, but really, it sounds more like a bust. [Globe]
