The Iowa City Police Department conducted alcohol sales law compliance checks on Friday at twenty-seven businesses licensed to sell alcoholic beverages. Working with plainclothes officers, underage persons entered the businesses and attempted to illegally purchase alcoholic beverages.
Six businesses checked by police sold to the underage buyers. The businesses that failed the compliance checks were:
- The Saloon – 112 E College St.
- Cactus 3 – 114 S Clinton St.
- The Deadwood – 6 S Dubuque St.
- RJz Express – 2 Escort Ln.
- DeliMart – 2410 Mormon Trek Blvd.
- Casey’s – 1410 Willow Creek Dr.
The employees who sold the alcohol to the underage buyers were each charged with, “Selling Alcohol to Persons Under Age 21.” An employee selling alcohol to persons under age 21 is charged with a simple misdemeanor, punishable with a $500 fine for the first offense. Additionally, all violations will be forwarded to the Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division for possible civil penalties against the liquor license.
