On Friday, February 19, the Nebraska State Patrol conducted alcohol compliance checks at retail outlets in Frontier and Lincoln Counties.

During the effort, five businesses were checked in Frontier County and 10 businesses were checked in Lincoln County. Two of the 15 businesses checked, Amoco North/Wicked Fast and Hunan Moon, both in North Platte, 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.
