The son and granddaughter of Robert F Kennedy have been pictured in their mugshots after they were arrested for allegedly throwing a raging party near the family’s historic Cape Cod compound.
Matthew ‘Max’ Kennedy, 52, and his daughter Caroline, 23, were taken into custody for disorderly conduct and a noise violation on Sunday in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts.
Both of the Kennedys were bailed out that same night before their mugshots emerged on Tuesday.
Police busted the loud party on Sunday at 172 Irving Avenue – close to the Kennedys’ Cape Cod compound.

The pair were asked to turn down their music at around 1am Sunday but they allegedly refused, CapeCod.com reported.
No-one else was arrested at the party, which also received complaints about fireworks.
Barnstable Police Lt John Murphy told the Boston Herald that the law was punishable by a $100 fine and arrest.
If found guilty, they will not face jail time, as neither of them has a criminal record, police said.
Both Kennedys were released on their own recognizance the night they were arrested, and Max was arraigned in Barnstable District Court on Monday.
They were partying at a rental home close to the historic Kennedy compound (pictured) in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, which was bought by RFK’s father in 1928

His pretrial hearing on the disorderly conduct charge is set for November 22.
Caroline Kennedy’s arraignment has been set for the same date. It’s unclear why she was not arraigned around the same time as her father.
The property does not belong to the Kennedys – although Max lives elsewhere in Hyannis Port.
It is a nine-bedroom rental home known as the ‘Judy Garland House’ after the actress, who used to spend her summers there.
The party was held here, at a home once used by Judy Garland on her summer holidays. Locals had complained about the noise and fireworks, and police asked them to turn the volume down

Max is probably best known for the book he wrote about his grandfather, ‘Make Gentle the Life of This: The Vision of Robert F Kennedy.’
He is one of nine children born to Robert and Ethel Kennedy.
His arrest, and that of his daughter, comes eight months after his nephew – Conor Kennedy, son of RFK Jr – was arrested.
Conor Kennedy, an ex-boyfriend of Taylor Swift, was charged with disorderly conduct after he punched a man outside a nightclub on December 29 in Aspen.
However, he avoided going to court after agreeing to a plea deal that saw him given a six-month deferred sentence.
The Kennedy compound was purchased by Joseph P. Kennedy Sr, father of RFK and John F Kennedy, in 1928. It was expanded upon, but the original structure was built in 1904.
