• Corey Owens, 22, a forklift driver from Auburn, Calif., was arrested at 9:30 p.m. Saturday in the 2000 block of North Carson Street on suspicion of felony parole violation, elong robbery and misdemeanor petty larceny. He allegedly tried to leave Safeway with a bottle of stolen booze stuffed down his pants. No bail was set.

This kid put up a hell of a fight too. I am bruised ALL over my body. He was definately amped up on something cause it took two of us(who are fully trained) over ten minutes to get him fully restrained and back inside the store. This was one of the worst fighters I have had in a couple years.

No, stopped him at the doors as he tried to leave the store with stolen merchandise. We stop them and take them into custody.

Ummmmmm, it is a grocery store. They dont sell liquor in grocery stores there?

Ummmm, he tried to leave. Not many people get past me........bigsmile

One of the companies I work for is Safeway. I am in plain clothes, my badge, cuffs and all that stuff is hidden. I walk around pushing a shopping cart looking like a customer watching people all day. I have to see every part of the theft or I cant stop them and we cant use the cameras much either, we have to physically see it.

What? Wow. I know in certain parts of California our stores cant sell any liquor after certain times. Here you can buy Beer, Wine, Hard Liquor(even 151 and Everclear) in grocery stores.

Why cant you get hard liquor there?

they used to have "blue laws" here, where everything was shut down on sundays, cept the grocery... there is also wet and dry counties, and the liquor can only be sold at liquor stores where it can be controlled easier.... in wet counties only...

Damn, it's not even close to being like that here. You can buy hard liquor at Grocery Stores, Convience Stores, Gas Stations, Hotels, Motels etc. Bars, Casinos and Clubs are open 24 hours a day and most night clubs don't even start getting busy until after 2am!

For the most part, here in PA, you can't buy alcohol in regular stores (like grocery or convenience stores). Other than bars obviously (and some restaurants), you have to go to a beer distributor for beer and you can only buy wine and hard liquor at state controlled liquor stores. Just until recently anyway. There's a SMALL handful of grocery stores and convenience stores selling beer now (even though I haven't seen one yet).

My guess is politics. However, there is talk about the government privatizing the liquor stores.

3.0 beer is really weak as opposed to most beer that's around 5-6% alcohol.

It's just stupid. I think the way they do it here in Nevada should be common practice across the country. The only way you shouldn't be able to buy it is if your underage or already extremly intoxicated.

There are a few grocery stores here in Eastern PA that sell beer and wine coolers but it has to be a separate sale at a designated register and the area has to be sectioned off from the rest of the grocery store. So if you are buying groceries and beer you have to make 2 separate purchases.
