Default Virginia Liquor Police...Keystone Cops?

I remember this case from a year or so ago. Keystone Cop-ery at Its Best.



HENRICO COUNTY, Va. (WTVR) – Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control
officials are taking a second look at the case of a University of
Virginia student, and Henrico resident, arrested after agents mistook a
box of sparkling water for beer.

Felony charges were dropped last week against Elizabeth Daly, a Henrico
resident, but public outrage continued as the story made national
headlines. The agency says it will re-investigate the case, but will not
say if new supervisors are assigned to look into the matter.

The governor’s Secretary of Public Safety will also take a look at the
ABC’s final report. “The governor is aware of this issue,” Bob
McDonnell’s spokesman, Tucker Martin, said in an email to CBS 6.

Daly said she didn’t know that Virginia Alcohol and Beverage Control
agents were on the lookout for underage drinkers last April.

ABC agents thought Daly was carrying a 12-pack of beer as she walked out
of the Harris Teeter grocery store in the Barracks Road Shopping Center,
in Charlottesville.

They now know it was a box of La Croix sparkling water. Daly declined to
comment on camera, but told CBS 6 she and her two roommates were
frightened when people–agents in plain clothes–quickly surrounded the group.

She contends the people never identified themselves as Virginia ABC
agents. That’s disputed in court documents and by ABC officials, who
told CBS 6 News that the female agent approached Daly and showed her badge.

The ABC told CBS 6 that agents were working in the area, concentrating
on underage possession enforcement. They said that an agent “observed
what appeared to be an underage person in possession of what appeared to
be a case of beer, and approached her to investigate.”

Happened almost two years ago. I wonder how many underage booze buyers
have been intercepted before then and since then. How many
of them were prevented from driving under the influence and possibly
killing themselves or others. I suppose if that happened the Virginia
Alcohol and Beverage Control agents would be under investigation for
negligence in doing their jobs.
