Leave it to teenagers to take something as wholesome as gummy bears and turn it into boozesoaked mischief. Using online tutorials, some teens are soaking the candy in vodka for several days and eating it to get a buzz. B O L O B O L O B O L O Not actual suspect vehicle Okla.

Thieves will window shop on shopping center parking lots, looking to see what people leave in their cars. These are crimes of opportunity. It only takes seconds to break the car window and make off with your valuables. From the Major s Desk With the ending of Daylight Savings Time, homeowners need to be more vigilant in keeping their homes secure. Close garage doors when no one is inside them. Also increase lighting around your home to make it less tempting for burglars.

Police say because teens are eating handfuls of candy, they don't know how much alcohol they're ingesting at a time. The teens get really drunk really fast without their parents finding a trace of illicit substances. Trends from the west coast often make it to our area. The link below is one of many online videos that demonstrate infusing candy with alcohol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjh dmfn6lo0&feature=player_embedded The driver of a vehicle shall completely stop his vehicle before entering any intersection where official stops erected. Vehicle stops at stop signs shall be made with the vehicle ceasing all forward movement, in the proper lane, behind the extending curb line of the intersecting street, and in a position where the driver has complete visibility to the right and left of the intersection. The preset municipal fine is $150. Officer Barnes (Continued from Page 2) I started the Tulsa Police Department in May of 2004. This is my fourth year working at the Riverside Division.
