Andrew Mills / Santa Cruz Police

Seven men from Fremont on a road trip to Santa Cruz were cited tickets totaling up to $7,000 for violating shelter-in-place orders, police said.

In a Twitter post on Saturday, Santa Cruz Police Chief Andrew Mills said that the men came from Fremont "to get some 'essential' drinks." The police did not indicate where the men were arrested, although the photo posted by Mills shows them sitting outside a 7-Eleven store.
