Crime drops in California despite narrative that it's not
The latest statistics from California show that crime in nearly every major crime category was down last year, despite narratives last year that made many in the public fear that crime rates were at an all-time high.
The 71 bottles were mostly tequila and worth more than $3,000, Sgt. Russell Davis said. The liquor was returned to Safeway.
