Three 19-Year-Olds, One 20-Year-Old Busted for Using Fake IDs at the Vault

Four adults, ages 19 and 20, were arrested and cited last week on misdemeanors for allegedly possessing or presenting false identification at the Vault Martini Bar on Vine Street in Redlands, a city spokesman said March 12.

The legal drinking age in Redlands and the rest of California is 21.

Redlands Police and agents from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control partnered with bar employees last week to make the arrests, Redlands spokesman Carl Baker said.

"RPD officers and two ABC agents, worked with bouncers at the Vault at the corner of Cajon and Vine streets, on Tuesday, March 5, checking the identifications of bar patrons," Baker said in a statement.

"Police arrested four people, including two 19-year-old Redlands women, a 19-year-old Highland woman and a 20-year-old Highland man who presented false identifications to employees," Baker said.

All four were cited on the misdemeanor charge and released, Baker said.

Alcoholic Beverage Control officers worked with Redlands police on at least operations in February, when employees at four businesses were cited and other people were arrested for allegedly buying or selling alcohol for decoys under the age of 21.

The Vault is at 20 E. Vine St., across from City Hall.
