Underage drinking prevention program yields citations in Yuba City
(FOX40.COM) — The Sutter County Sheriff's Office cited five individuals during the Alcohol Beverage Control statewide Shoulder Tap operation on March 15 in Yuba City. •Video Above: What are the risks of excessive drinking?
According to SCSO, the operation — based in the City of Live Oak — aims to deter serving alcoholic beverages to minors. The program is designed to create awareness throughout the state about the dangers of underage drinking.
'We conduct these operations to keep alcohol out of the hands of our youth,' said ABC Director Joseph McCullough. 'By preventing underage drinking, we can increase the quality of life in our communities and reduce DUIs.'
SCSO stated that the Shoulder Tap operation targets adults who purchase alcoholic beverages for individuals under the age of 21. This operation involves a minor, supervised directly by law enforcement, who positions themselves outside a liquor or convenience store and requests customers to buy alcohol for them. The minor informs the buyers that they are underage and unable to purchase the alcoholic drink.

When an adult agrees to purchase alcohol for an underage person, they can be arrested and cited for giving alcohol to a minor, said SCSO. The penalty for buying alcohol for a minor is a minimum of $1,000 fine and 24 hours of community service.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, about 25 percent of fatal crashes involve underage drinking. Statistics have shown that young people under the age of 21 are at a higher risk of being in a collision compared to older drivers, says the NHTSA.
SCSO said in a Facebook post, that this program has been funded by the ABC program and the California Office Traffic Safety Through.

Jesse Watters' Outrage Over Term He Just Decried Backfires Spectacularly
Fox News anchor Jesse Watters was furious last month over James Comey posting '86 47' on social media, claiming the former FBI director 'obviously was trying to put out a hit' on President Donald Trump — but is now using the same term on his show. The conservative 'Primetime' host wielded the term both Tuesday and Wednesday to celebrate former ABC News correspondent Terry Moran and Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg getting ousted and leaving their posts, respectively. 'ABC just 86'd Terry Moran for calling Stephen Miller a hateful bigot,' Watters said Tuesday about the former correspondent, who was let go after criticizing the White House deputy chief of staff on social media. 'This was probably the easiest thing ABC ever had to do.' Watters used the same term for Hogg, who announced Wednesday on social media that he won't be running for reelection due to 'a crisis of competence and complacency' in the Democratic Party. 'So this guy got 86'd because he's white, he's a guy and allegedly he's straight,' Watters said Wednesday. 'I don't want to impose that on him. The Democrats say they learned a lesson last election, but you look at this and it doesn't look like they learned anything.' The term is commonly known to refer to the removal of someone from an establishment, or for a restaurant menu item that's no longer available, but was interpreted by Trump and his loyalists last month as a death threat after Comey shared the numbers on social media. 'He obviously was trying to put a hit out on Trump, got caught, deleted it,' Watters said on 'The Five' at the time. 'And he's got a book out — oh, what a coincidence! Any cop, any prosecutor knows the code for homicide.' The police code for murder varies from state to state, but no known law enforcement agency uses 86 for it. The most commonly known code for murder is California's 187, which was made famous by West Coast hip-hop and Los Angeles-set crime films. Watters is no stranger to airing apparent hypocrisies, however: he initially hailed the so-called Department of Government Efficiency for gutting federal agencies, only to plead with the Trump administration to spare those dearest to him when the cuts came home to roost. His double standard in using the term 86'd, meanwhile, is getting torched on social media.

‘We just want to know that she's safe' — Mother of missing West Jordan teen speaks out
WEST JORDAN, Utah (ABC4) — The mother of the has spoken out about her worries about her daughter's disappearance. Sophia Rojas, 15, was last seen on June 3, and she has had no contact with her friends or family since, according to West Jordan police. She was last seen wearing a grey suit and pants. Police believe that she may be with an adult, and she may be lying about her age. PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Family, police seeking information on missing 15-year-old girl from West Jordan Her mother, Porscha Chavez, spoke to about her daughter's disappearance. 'She took off in the middle of the night, and I haven't heard from her or seen her since,' she said. Chavez told that Sophia left a note, but that the first sentence of the note didn't sound like her. The note said, 'Don't jump into getting the police involved.' The rest of the note said that she had a place to stay, not to worry about her, and not to be mad, that she would be back eventually. Chavez believes that she is with an adult because she left in the middle of the night on a school night and none of her usual circle of friends have heard from her. Sophia also has a history of talking to adults online and lying about her age, Chavez said. Chavez took Sophia's phone away in February for that reason. 'I do feel like she's possibly been groomed. I think that she feels like it's not gonna happen to her, and that she'll be okay, and she has the teenager mindset of nothing's gonna happen to her and she knows everything and she's fine,' she said. Chavez told that she is able to see that Sophia has a different phone signed into her Google account, and Chavez does not know where that phone came from. She is able to see that it is logged in, but she cannot see its location.

'My concerns are that she's with an adult, who may be feeding things to her, and possibly, now that this is getting awareness and stuff, that they may not let her go if she wants to go home,' Chavez said. She also told that she feels like Sophia's case is not getting the attention it deserves because her daughter is not white. Chavez shared what she wants Sophia to hear from her. 'Come home,' she said. 'We just want to know that she's safe, and we want her back home safely.' West Jordan Police are asking that anyone with information about Sophia Rojas contact 801-256-2000 and reference case WJ25-27102.
