NORTH PLATTE, Neb.-During the afternoon and evening hours of Friday, January 31, Investigators with the Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) conducted alcohol inspections in Red Willow County.

This 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. One of those businesses sold alcohol to a minor for a non-compliance rate of 10 percent. The business that failed the inspection was:

Schmick’s Market – McCook (Did not check ID, sold to minor)

The businesses checked include liquor stores, convenience stores, restaurants, and bars. Businesses that fail the inspections are referred to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission. Clerks who sell alcohol to a minor are cited for procuring alcohol for a minor.
