Springfield Liquor Stores Selling to Minors

Springfield police department conducted a sting on several liquor stores in the area. They sent teens ages 16-18 to see if the stores would sell to minors. To their surprise, five did; one didn't even check for identification. According to the article, "The number of violations varies from community to community, according to Kenny, and there is some indication that more frequent checks helps keep license holders on their toes". Liquor stores charged with selling to minors can face license suspension or revocation or serious fines.
