SUBJECT:
Sutter County Sheriff's Deputies conduct successful
shoulder tap program
Text:
Sutter County Sheriff's Deputies, assisted by Sutter County
Sheriff's Cadets attempted to have patrons entering five local
retail businesses, purchase them alcohol. The Shoulder Tap
Program uses underage cadets to contact individuals outside
retail markets and ask them to purchase alcohol in violation
of state law.
The cadets talked with thirty individuals who all refused
to purchase alcohol for the minors. The clerks of the stores
even came out and asked the cadets to leave the premises. The
Sheriff's Department considers this to have been a very
successful exercise because no alcohol was purchased. The five
businesses were identified as:
1. Question Market, 973 North Township Road, Yuba City.
2. AM/PM Market, 1332 Bogue Road, Yuba City.
3. Tim's Mini Mart, 1619 Lincoln Road, Yuba City.
4. Fast-N-Easy Market, 1197 Lincoln Road, Yuba City.
5. Quick Stop Market, 1285 Bogue Road, Yuba City.
