On Friday, August 26, the Nebraska State Patrol conducted alcohol compliance checks at retail outlets in Chase and Perkins Counties.

During the effort, five businesses were checked in Chase County and four businesses were checked in Perkins County. Two of nine businesses checked were found to be non-compliant after selling alcohol to a minor.

The two non-compliant businesses were in Chase County, and were identified as Tequilas Mexican Grill, 140 East 12th Street, Imperial and Broken Arrow Cellars, 73892 322nd Avenue, Imperial.

The retail outlets checked included convenience, liquor and grocery stores as well as restaurants and bars.

Law enforcement performs compliance checks to ensure 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.
