Virginia parents Aubrey and Lisa Vaughan accused of hosting drinking party for ‘100 to 300’ teenagers at their $3 million McLean home

A Virginia couple was arrested for throwing a runaway underage party involving hundreds of teenagers who packed their $3 million home in one of the nation’s wealthiest neighborhoods.

Aubrey and Lisa Vaughan were charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor and maintaining a common nuisance during the chaotic gathering — held for their teenage son — at their McLean home on Nov. 6, Fairfax County police said.

Officers went to Vaughan’s home in the 1400 block of Woodacre Drive after neighbors complained about the gathering that drew a massive crowd of “100 to 300” young partygoers just after 9 p.m.

Officers found dozens of allegedly drunk teenagers wandering the streets, the smell of alcohol wafting through the air, disorderly behavior and fireworks being set off outside the home.

Police confronted the Vaughans outside their home and questioned the couple about the large party, which they claimed to have supervised.

“No, we didn’t drink alcohol,” Lisa Vaughan said, according to body camera footage of the confrontation.

A police officer laughed at her response and asked her if she was joking.

“I’m not kidding. We made sure there were no backpacks and no alcohol,” Vaughan said.

“We can’t smell it in the air right now,” the officer questioned.

“It stinks of alcohol. We have drunk kids walking around everywhere,” a second officer said.

After his arrest, Aubrey Vaughan doubled down on his efforts to host the party at his home, blaming uninvited teens for spoiling the celebrations.

“When people see this, put yourself in a parent’s shoes,” Vaughan told Fox 5 DC. “We want our children to stay at home so we can watch them and the reality is this can happen to anyone.

“We had no idea that ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth graders would come to an eighth grade party,” he said. “But they did it.”

A large fireworks display went off behind the house, interrupting the conversation in the front yard.

Officers rushed to the area of ​​the loud bang, but were greeted by a large crowd of screaming teenagers as they ran out from behind the house.

About 100 other youths were found huddled in the yard as police attempted to clear the property.

Some teenagers came down from scaffolding onto the porch as dozens of them crowded onto a staircase.

Smoke from the fireworks filled the air as officers ordered the unidentified teens to “go home.”

The horde of teens fled the area on foot, running through leaf-covered streets as more officers arrived, according to video shared by police.

The home, valued at $3.2 million, is co-owned by Aubrey Vaughan, 55, and his wife of 45 years, according to public property records viewed by The Post.

The sprawling 11,000-square-foot estate has 7 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms and is in the nation’s ninth-wealthiest neighborhood, where the average home value was $1,795,314 in April 2026, according to a ranking by MoneyLion.

A bar, wine cellar, exercise room, laundry room and several recreation rooms complete the ground floor layout, according to online listings.

“When the house party gets so out of hand, we get an invitation,” Fairfax County Police captioned the video.

Investigators say the Vaughans threw the party for their teenager and filed arrest warrants for the couple.

The couple turned themselves in to police at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center, where they were released on $1,000 unsecured bonds.

“We certainly didn’t ask for this and those kids that behaved that way, I apologize to everyone,” Aubrey Vaughan said.

Vaughan claimed there was “zero alcohol” at the party he was throwing and he told everyone with an age-restricted substance to leave.

“This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safety and supervision when hosting gatherings involving minors,” Fairfax County Police said.

“While these events are often intended to be fun and enjoyable, circumstances can change quickly. We encourage parents and property owners to remain alert to activities occurring on their property, take steps to prevent minors from drinking, and contact police if concerns arise or the situation begins to escalate.”
