Drug-Free All Stars Tour Angelina County Jail

For the Drug-Free All Star October meeting, the All Stars toured the Angelina County Jail and received training to participate in alcohol compliance checks. The Drug-Free All Stars of Angelina County are a group of high school seniors that serve as role models for the community by living an alcohol, tobacco, and drug-free life. The Drug-Free All Star program, in partnership with TxDOT, aims to reduce crashes, injuries and death on Texas roadways. The All Stars saw first-hand the results of substance misuse and what daily life is like for inmates.  During the meeting, Angelina County Sheriff’s Deputy Stephanie Davidson trained the Drug-Free All Stars to conduct compliance checks to prevent the sale of alcohol to minors by local businesses. According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2024), 47% of people aged 12 or older used alcohol in the past month and compliance checks are an important prevention strategy to reduce sales to minors. A special thank you to Sheriff Tom Selman, Warden Nick Gardner, Judge Wes Suiter, Captain Alton Lenderman, TABC Agent Jeremy Alexander, Sheriff’s Deputy Stephanie Davidson, and Lieutenant Netherton for providing this experience for the All Stars.
