8 businesses checked, 2 fail in Carson City alcohol age compliance check
Carson City Sheriff’s Office School Resource Officers in conjunction with Partnership Carson City conducted an alcohol compliance check on Dec. 14.
This was conducted with the support of three volunteers ranging from 18 to 20 years old. They were sent to local businesses that sell alcohol in an attempt to purchase alcohol. In total, eight businesses were screened during the compliance check, and two failed.
Compliance checks are conducted to keep alcohol out of the hands of minors. The following Carson City businesses were cited for failing the compliance check:
RK Food Mart at 500 Hot Springs Road
Winnie Discount Liquor at 262 West Winnie Lane
The Carson City Sheriff’s Office and Partnership Carson City remind businesses to be diligent in checking identification to ensure those purchasing alcohol are 21 years of age or older. It is Nevada law to check identification when selling or serving alcohol. If you have any questions on compliance checks, you may email SOlson@carson.org.
