February 5, 2024 - Amador County Sheriff's Office officials report that on the afternoon of February 3rd, the Sheriff's Office received a call from Save Mart in Martell, after a woman was seen stealing a large amount of top-shelf liquor and fleeing the scene in a rental car. A short time later, a patrol sergeant noticed the suspect's vehicle traveling westbound on CA-16 and then located the vehicle parked at a shopping center in Rancho Murieta, where he detained the driver.
An investigation concluded that 23-year-old Alia Hampton, of Stockton, had stolen several bottles of liquor and 22 cans of corned beef, with a total value of about $800. Based on the fact that the thefts are considered shoplifting and have a total value under $950 (Prop. 47), Hampton was released from the scene and misdemeanor charges will be filed.
