FOLLOW UP AT BECKER'S PACKAGE STORE
At approzimately 2I05 hrs I went to Becker's package store. The two employees on duty were Tracy Ennes and
Jovita Delorey.Ms Ennes said that she was the one primarily waitimg on customers.
I asked Ennes who was designated as "Cashier 6". She said all the sales were iung up as Cashier 6.I then described
and asked if she sold a 375 of Gordon's Vodka to him.First she said"he sounds familiar" and then
she had sold the vodka to him.
I told Ms. Ennes tLat I had seen bim stumbling nearby,that he was exuemely druuk;and that his blood alcohol was
4 times the legal limit for driving.Ms E�es said that when he came into the liquor store he was not stumbling and
his speech was clear. She said he seemed ok
I then asked who was in charge of the store.Ms Ennes indicated that Ms Delorey was in charge,as she had been
worldng there longer.
Ms Ennes asked what was going to happen. I told her that sale of alcohol to an intoxicated person is a crime,but is
someliwes dealt with as a license issue. I advised that I would docimment the event and pass it along to my superiors
to determine a course of action.
Ttuoughout our inteiaction Ms.Ennes was cooperative and forthcoming.
The sales slip and unopened botxle of Gordon's Vodka are booked into evidence.
