Legal documents obtained by the New York Post hurl accusations of parents getting drunk and taking THC edibles around children at games and accuse the board of diverting $100,000 away from the program.

Eastern Junior Vikings Football and Cheer offers extracurricular sports programs for kids ages five to 14.

Charles Foulke III, the owner of a local car dealership and a parent, is suing three board members.

Foulke says his children have participated in the football program for over 18 years.

The suit accuses board president Troy Brocco, vice president Ron Librizzi and treasurer Danielle Fifthian of turning the program into “an adult party playground.”

Laura Ruccolo, the attorney representing Foulke, claimed to have pictures of parents drinking alcoholic beverages and eating edibles around kids, though the pictures did not appear in the original filing.

Fifthian denied any THC use around children and said any drinking was never in excess.
