On November 29th 2018, the Santa Barbara Police Department Special Enforcement Team assisted the California Alcoholic Beverage Control in conducting an enforcement action at Summit Gasoline at 8 South Milpas Street.
In 2017, the Santa Barbara Police Department received Grant Assistance Program (GAP) funds from the California ABC. During one of the GAP operations, Summit Gas was cited for selling alcohol to a minor by SBPD officers.
In 2018, SBPD received additional GAP funds and conducted a similar operation at Summit Gas. Again, Summit Gas was cited for selling alcohol to a minor.
Based on the above minor decoy operations/violations, the California Alcoholic Beverage Control revoked Summit Gas’ liquor license for 21 Days.On November 29th 2018, the Santa Barbara Police Department Special Enforcement Team assisted the California Alcoholic Beverage Control in conducting an enforcement action at Summit Gasoline at 8 South Milpas Street.
Maybe the drunk vagrants are “poor” because they are drunk vagrants. Merely being “poor” is hardly a protected class, and in this case it is purely a voluntary choice. Have at it, ACLU.
UNfortunately the people involved with that operation did it illegally or it might have been successful the intimidation tactics did not work out too well either. ABC split from the operation maybe that is why the move to another place it was longer than 10 years ago I was there.
I have to take exception to the “alcohol changes the brain” claim to the point where your friend, lover, or relative is forever changed and no going back. I know people who came out of their rehab experience and are their original selves again after many years of alcohol abuse.
Too bad they can’t restrict alcohol sales to the homeless that congregate around that corridor of booze marts.
MONKEYBOY – what do you propose? Checking people for renter’s agreements or mortgage statements? Or just ban the sale of booze to anyone who “looks homeless?” I’m curious, what’s the plan?
So you take exception to over 4 decades of research showing the physiological changes that alcoholism has on the brain? I’m glad your anecdotal evidence is so strong young padawan
