DETALLES:
The Oxnard Police Department arrested three adults on Sunday, Agosto 20, 2017, for furnishing alcoholic beverages to minors. One of the adults arrested was also found to be in possession of narcotic paraphernalia. Another subject was contacted during the operation and found to be a Post Release Offender. He was found to have an outstanding felony warrant and arrested. The operation was conducted at various locations throughout the city.
The Oxnard Police Department conducted a program called a Decoy Shoulder Tap Operation which targets adults who purchase alcohol for people less than 21 años de edad. Under the program, a minor under the direct supervision of a peace officer will stand outside a liquor or convenience store and ask patrons to buy them alcohol. The minor indicates in some way he or she is underage and cannot purchase the alcohol.
If the adults agree to purchase alcohol for the minor, officers then arrest and cite the adult for furnishing alcohol to the minor. La pena por suministrar alcohol a un menor es mínima $1000 bien y 24 horas de servicio a la comunidad.
The program is intended to reduce the availability of alcohol to minors. Statistics show they generally have a higher rate of drunken driving crashes than adults. Studies also show the combination of alcohol and youth tends to increase criminal conduct. According to the American Medical Association, underage drinking can increase chances of risky sexual behavior and teen pregnancy, juvenile delinquency, compromise health, and result in unintentional injury and death.
This project is part of the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control’s Education and Teen Alcohol Enforcement Program Grant, funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
