Vacaville police arrested a clerk at a local gas station Friday after authorities say they sold tobacco products to a minor decoy working with officers in a sting operation. Marquita Devereax, a 29-year-old Fairfield resident working at United Oil on Peabody Road, was taken into custody by officers from the Vacaville Police Department's Youth Services Section after allegedly selling tobacco to a teen under 18, according to police. Officers worked with underage decoys, who visited 62 local businesses and tried to buy tobacco.
However, of the 60-plus businesses that were visited, only Devereax actually completed the transaction. The decoy was asked for his ID, which he produced and, despite it showing that he was not yet 18, officers said that Devereax sold the teen tobacco anyway. Devereax was arrested and released on a notice to appear for selling tobacco products to a minor.
Authorities commended the numerous businesses and individuals who obeyed the law by not selling tobacco to underage teens. Funds for this operation and the alcohol, tobacco and other drugs efforts by the Vacaville Police Department's Youth Services Section are provided by grants from the Solano County Board of Supervisors and the Reducing Rates Coalition.
