Drugs and alcohol do not usually have a positive influence on teenagers. In fact science has shown that the earlier one begins drinking or using drugs the more damage is done early on and the greater likelihood for addiction problems in the future.

This is especially true for one teenager in Northern Colorado. Jimmy Bazor has had multiple run-ins with law enforcement officials. It should come as no surprise that each time the 19-year-old has been in trouble alcohol and/or drugs have been involved.

Most recently Bazor was arrested for robbing a marijuana dealer at gunpoint. He was arrested two days later on suspicion of felony menacing, aggravated robbery, theft, possession of a weapon by a previous offender and violating his probation – not good.

Again, this obviously is not Bazor’s first arrest. Back in July of 2010 he was arrested for acts of retribution. The retribution in this case was toward a fellow adolescent who had beaten him up at a party. Bazor and friend had gone back to the house where had just lost a fight and vandalized a car and threw rocks at the house. He and his pal both were intoxicated when arrested.

It is such a shame when drugs and alcohol enter the mix. Teens already feel indestructible and they never envision a life of addiction.
