EVERYONE’S pleased that the DA took one look at the police report on the alleged after-hours hijinks at the Boonville Saloon and tossed it. No charges, no nothing, as was evident at the time. Two deputies had been dispatched from Ukiah to look for a prowler, a local tweeker so tweeked he barely understands where he is. The tweeker had stumbled off into invisibility by the time the cops got over here, but they were all dressed up, nothing else was happening, and they were pulling an all-nighter anyway so…at the sight and sound of after-hours merriment in central Boonville, they arrested two people who’d stepped outside for a smoke for being drunk-in-public and wrote the bar up for an expired license. The license wasn’t expired — the cops had looked at the wrong license — and stepping outside for a smoke is not drunk in public by any reasonable standard.
