On March 7, 2015, Deputies from the Washington County Sheriff's Office conducted an undercover operation where underage decoys attempted to purchase alcohol. The 18-year-old underage decoy visited seventeen businesses located the eastern areas of Washington County. The decoy was under the constant supervision of a Sheriff's Deputy. The decoy provided their valid Oregon State issued ID card if requested by the clerk.
Out of the seventeen establishments checked, only one store clerks sold alcohol to the underage decoy. The business was Aloha Liquor (20285 SW TV Hwy).
