BRICK – Brick Township Police made six arrests over Memorial Day weekend during their Cops in Shops campaign.
On May 24, police arrested a 20-year-old male and 63-year-old female after the woman attempted to purchase alcohol for the man.
On May 25, two 19-year-old females and two juveniles were arrested for underage possession of alcoholic beverages after they attempted to purchase alcohol. The one 19-year-old presented a fake identification when she attempted to make the purchase.
The legal drinking age and age to purchase alcohol in New Jersey is 21.
Cops in Shops is a grant-funded program through the Division of Highway Safety that enables police to be in local liquor stores to crack down on underage drinking.
Bust a 20 year old for trying to buy a 6 pack but yet give the dope addicts free narcan.
John Patrick Butler one has nothing to do with the other. Try educating yourself
Yeah save alcohol overdoses too bad example
Seriously?? What do they want, a medal for busting someone months away from legally buying alcohol. Get a life
Carol Ann you didn’t read further??? 20 yr, AND 19 AND 2 juveniles (which would be any age 17 and under) So you may think nothing of a minor drinking, but most would think otherwise
Sharon you speak for “most”? I think there are probably more worthy ways for le to spend their time. We are all entitled to our opinions.
It appears as though Carol Ann has no kids, thank God. Do us all a favor and don’t procreate.
?. Omg teenagers drinking?? Shocker!
Carol Ann couldn’t agree more!
Carol Ann
Jesusss, find something REAL to do, losersss
I’ll never understand how someone has to wait until 21 to buy a beer but you can join the military at 18 and go off to war.
I feel so much safer now! Thank you to those brave men in blue!
please ask the nation youth to volunteer join the service and die for your country but stop them from having a beer.
Meanwhile hundreds got away
It’s all a money grab nowadays, when I was underage and you got busted the cops just made you pour it all out. No one got arrested and we turned out just fine ?♂️
Lmao and they’re still arresting people for one gram of weed
But junkies can shoot illegal heroin, OD, get blasted by the Narcan Express and be on their way without a slap on the wrist. So glad it all makes sense.
2 busts for how many undercovers hanging around all day? I feel so much safer with those 4 teens, a 20 year old “underage drinker”, and an elderly woman off the mean streets of OC.
