During the evening hours of Friday, December 6, Investigators with the Nebraska State Patrol conducted alcohol inspections in Frontier, Hayes, and Logan Counties.
The project was supported in whole or part by grant #93.959 under the SAMHSA Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, Region II Human Services, and the Nebraska DHHS Division of Behavioral Health.
In total, ten businesses were inspected. Three of those businesses sold alcohol to a minor for a non-compliance rate of 30 percent. All of the businesses checked the minor’s ID.
The businesses that failed the inspections are:
H & J Grocery & Beverage – Eustis (Checked ID, sold to minor)
Mr. E-Z – Maywood (Checked ID, sold to minor)
VFW Post #8258 – Stapleton (Checked ID, sold to minor)
The businesses included liquor stores, convenience stores, restaurants, and bars. Businesses that fail liquor inspections are referred to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission. Clerks who sell alcohol to a minor are cited for procuring alcohol for a minor.
