On Friday, April 15, the Nebraska State Patrol conducted alcohol compliance checks at 10 retail outlets in Red Willow County.

During the effort, two businesses checked, Schmick’s Market and Hi Times Liquor Mart 1, were found to be non-compliant after selling alcohol to a minor. The retail outlets checked included convenience, liquor and grocery stores, as well as restaurants and bars.

Law enforcement performs compliance checks to ensure that businesses are complying with the state’s alcohol laws and to decrease youth access to alcohol.

The compliance checks were conducted thanks in part to a grant from Region II Human Services.
