Taylor Road Patrol Leads to Underage Drinking Charges

Johns Creek Police patrolling Taylor Road and Mortons Crossing following numerous complaints of speeding in the area led to underage drinking charges.

During the patrol on June 15 a driver operating a Lexus was signaled by officers to pull his vehicle over due to speeding down Taylor Road.

While speaking with the driver and his two passengers, the officer could smell alcohol coming from the passenger compartment area as well as from all three people in the vehicle.

After obtaining identification, the officer determined that the driver and the passenger in front of the car were below the legal alcohol consumption age and were charged with underage consumption, a misdemeanor. The passenger in the back was released without incident as he was of legal drinking age.

Due to the subjects' age, the officer determined that the best course of action would be to defer them to the city's STOP program.

The subjects' parents were called to the scene to pick them up and so that the police could speak with them about the incident.
