One Carson City business out of 24 that were checked earlier this month failed a compliance check by selling alcohol to a minor, according to the Carson City Sheriff’s Office.
The compliance check was conducted Friday, March 20 from 5:30 p.m. to midnight. In violation was Maverik gas station and convenience store located at 1451 W. College Parkway.
The check was completed by the Carson City Sheriff’s Office Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws Team and consisted of two deputies and one underage decoy. The decoy was sent into businesses using their actual identification. The decoy then attempted to purchase alcohol from an employee.
EUDL routinely conducts these checks to ensure that businesses are not selling or serving alcohol to minors.
The Sheriff’s Office also conducts “server training education” in cooperation with Partnership Carson City to local businesses. We encourage our local businesses to send employees to these training sessions. To enroll in the next class contact Linda Lang at 775-882-6674.
The result of an employee selling alcohol to a minor is a citation with a fine of $642.00 and a requirement that they attend server training. For the business it is a $100.00 fine on the first violation.
