During the evening hours of Friday, November 17, Investigators with the Nebraska State Patrol conducted alcohol inspections in Lincoln County.

The 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.

A total of 17 businesses were checked, with three selling alcohol to a minor for a non-compliance rate of 18%. Two of the businesses failed to check the minor’s ID. The businesses included convenience stores, restaurants, liquor stores, and grocery stores.

The businesses that sold alcohol to a minor were:

Brady Get-N-Go – Brady

Casey’s General Store #1759 – North Platte

R & C Petroleum – North Platte

Businesses that fail the inspections are referred to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission and the clerks are cited for Procuring Alcohol for a Minor.

This operation was done in conjunction with a selective enforcement by Troop D – North Platte. That enforcement resulted in citations or warnings for: Speeding (5), Possession of Marijuana – less than one ounce (1), Driving Under Suspension (1), No Registration (2), and Light Violation (1).
