    The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Division conducted operations to curb the
    availability of alcohol to minors. The evening of May 14, 2010 deputies conducted an
    alcohol enforcement operation in Washoe County in cooperation with Join Together
    Northern Nevada (JTNN) who assists law enforcement with grant funding to fight
    underage drinking.

    During this operation a total of 19 establishments were visited by plain clothes Deputies
    and an undercover minor who was able to purchase alcohol at 3 of the businesses
    visited. Citations were issued to each of the clerks who sold alcohol to the minor which
    occurred at Ole Tyme Saloon (Geiger Grade), Verdi Mining Company (Verdi) and
    Crystal Peak Kantina (Gold Ranch).

    crashes, violent crime, property crime, unintentional injury, and risky sex.

    • During 2007, an estimated 1,988 traffic fatalities and 48,800 nonfatal traffic
    injuries involved an underage drinking driver.
    • In 2006, an estimated 2,099 homicides; 989,100 nonfatal violent crimes such as
    rape, robbery and assault; and 1,919,900 property crimes including burglary,
    larceny, and car theft involved an underage drinking perpetrator.
    • In 2006, an estimated 371 alcohol involved fatal burns, drowning, and suicides
    involved underage drinking.
    • In 2006, an estimated 158,600 teen pregnancies and 730,500 risky sexual acts
    by teens involved alcohol.
