Email: raven.saunt@mailonline.co.ukA 19-year-old student, who threw house party for 50 people that saw him fined £10,000, has apologised after claiming he 'only' invited 25 people but things 'got out of hand'. Officers claim the young man was given the chance to shut down Friday's party before he was issued with the hefty fine. The fine comes just days before new rules come in force whereby only six people can meet at any one time. Residents in Lenton, who reported the house party to police, described the scene as some partygoers using the excuse to police 'we are just students.' 'Under current rules we can issue fines to anyone hosting gatherings of more than 30 people which can result in fines of up to £10,000.
