RIPON - Ripon Police officers and support staff were well fed as they conducted a DUI and drivers license check point on North Jack Tone Road Saturday night. While officers from Ripon, Manteca and Tracy were busy citing motorists for suspended licenses and out of date registrations early-on in the evening, police volunteer VIPS member Rich Searcy had the barbecue fired up on the center divider of the roadway turning out hamburgers and hot dogs for the force. Yet another VIPS member and Ripon minister, Don Rowe, provided a large pot of hot, homemade “Check Point Chili” for all comers in a nearby walk-in police trailer that also offered sodas and coffee on the extremely cold night.
