Crescent City Police Department:

On 9-19-2020 the Crescent City Police Department worked with an Agent from the California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control to conduct a Minor Decoy and Shoulder Tap operation.

During the operation we utilized an underage "decoy" to attempt purchases from Discount Liquor, Wayside Liquor, Y Liquor, and the Shell Gas Station. 

The minor decoy had valid identification with their actual date of birth. The only establishment that sold to our minor decoy was Discount Liquor on 9th Street. The clerk who sold the alcohol to the minor was cited and released for a violation of 25658 (a) of the Business and Professions Code.

We also utilized a minor to attempt shoulder tap operations at Wayside Liquor and and Y Liquor stores.  One arrest was made at each location during this operation when an adult was asked to purchase alcohol for the minor and then completed the transaction.  Each individual was then cited and released for 25658 (a) B&P as well.

We will be continuing these operations over the course of the year utilizing funding from the grant we received from ABC.
