Clovis Police and state agents arrested 27 people for alcohol-related violations during the Clovis Rodeo.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Police worked with agents from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) as part of a program funded by a grant from the ABC Alcohol Policing Partnership program.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The big picture: Part of the enforcement included a trap door operation where law enforcement officers worked with bars and clubs to detect fake ID usage by minors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
People who verify IDs alert officers who then contact the minors presenting the fake IDs as part of the program.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clovis Police said five of the arrests were for fake IDs, while the other violations were for public intoxication, minors in possession of alcohol, furnishing alcohol to a minor and one arrest for DUI.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The penalty for possession or use of a fake ID is a $250 fine, 32 hours of community service and a one-year suspension of their driver license.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why it matters: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that people under the age of 21 have a much higher risk of being involved in a crash than older drivers, and about 25% of fatal crashes involve underage drinking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What they\u2019re saying: \u201cWe are thankful for the partnership we have with both the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control and the Clovis Rodeo Association to keep this a fun and safe annual family-friendly event,\u201d said Corporal Russ Moring.\u00a0<\/p>\n
ABC Director Paul Tupy added, \u201cWith help from local law enforcement and participating businesses we can reduce underage drinking and the risks associated with it to keep communities safe.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Clovis Police and state agents arrested 27 people for alcohol-related violations during the Clovis Rodeo.\u00a0 Police worked with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":290404,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[112,114,113],"class_list":["post-290403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fresno","tag-fresno","tag-fresno-headlines","tag-fresno-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=290403"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290403\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/290404"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=290403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=290403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=290403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
