Boulder Circle K Clerk Refuses To Take Puerto Rico ID, Claims It’s Not From U.S.
"I told her Puerto Rico is part of the United States," Ruth Caraballo said. "We are citizens and this is a U.S. ID, and she told me, 'No.'"
BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4) – A woman said she was denied purchasing cigarettes at a gas station in Boulder because her ID was from Puerto Rico. On Feb. 21, Ruth Caraballo said she stopped at a Circle K in Boulder to get gas and cigarettes.
“I give her my ID,” Caraballo told CBS4. “When she saw that it was Puerto Rico driver’s license, she said she cannot accept the ID. It has to be a U.S. ID.”
