Police Chief Considering Alcohol Ordinance

June 27, 2002

By Nicole Koglin

IDAHO FALLS - Idaho Falls Police Chief J. Kent Livsey is working with city officials on a new ordinance that would make carrying open containers of alcohol on city streets illegal, between the hours of 10 p.m. and 10 a.m.

Sgt. Steve Hunt of the Idaho Falls Police Department said that Chief Livsey has been considering enacting an ordinance like this for sometime, but after the events that resulted at Street Fest 2002, the need for more control over alcohol on the street is even more evident.

Thanks for the Idaho posts, chance.

So, what happened at the Street Fest ?

[umgud]

Where do homeless people drink? Isn't this discriminatory?

So, what happened at the Street Fest ?

No idea, I live in Ohio :) I check news from all over from links on my website . Has all of the TV stations news websites listed and all newspapers. It is very simple format, and I am working on cleaning up some of the links, putting affiliate information, and a rating of each. Lots of weird news out there.....

It's always the local punk kids who screw it up. Reno, NV used to allow alcohol in plastic containers during their events like Hot August Nights (classic car rally), but antics of the gang wannabes killed that.

You mean there are still homeless people after 8 years of clintons??? I am shocked! < /sarcasm>
