Store employees accused of making illegal drug sales
The Oregon Liquor Control
Commission has ordered an imme
diate suspension of liquor sales at
the Dekum Food Market, 800 N.E.
Dekum, after store employees were
allegedly caught selling drugs on
the premises.
Officials said the immediate sus
pension was issued last W ednes
day because the business is con
sidered a serious danger to public
health and safety.
The store’s licensees, Seung K.
Kim and Hack H. Kim were ordered
to stop selling packaged beer and
wine at the facility until further
notice.
“The premises has become a
haven for illegal drug activity,” the
OLCC suspension order to the store
operators said. “The multiple pur-
chases/deliveries of illegal drugs
on your licensed premises, com
bined with the illegal drugs found
on the licensed premises are evi
dence of the criminal enterprise
operating from your store.”
The OLCC charged that unlaw
ful activity occurred at least four
times between August and Octo
ber when two employees sold mari
juana at the store to police under
cover personnel.

In addition, the commission said
one of the store's employees had five
plastic bags of marijuana and two
rocks of cocaine on the premises.
O L C C D irecto r P am ela S.
Erickson said illegal drug activity
has a high potential to cause pub
lic health and safety problems that
are compounded when alcohol is
involved. She said illegal drug traf
ficking poses a serious danger
because of the threat of violence

of their intention to seek a hearing
by Jan. 21.
