The Calvert County Sheriff’s Office, in an effort to curtail the sale of alcohol to minors, conducts undercover “checks” of various establishments throughout the county to determine if they are in compliance with obtaining the proper ID from persons buying alcohol.
These checks are accomplished by sending underage decoys into the businesses to attempt to buy alcohol.
The following establishments were visited on Jan. 15 to determine if they conducted the proper ID requirements.
The businesses which failed the operation, and sold alcohol to the underage decoy were:
Costal Car Care, Prince Frederick;
Fastop, Lusby;
The County’s Filling Station, Lusby;
Thirsty Badger, Prince Frederick, and;
Windsor’s EZ Stop, Prince Frederick.
The businesses which passed the operation on Jan. 15 were:
Buehler’s Market, St. Leonard;
CJ’s, Lusby;
Fastop, Solomons;
Ken Mar Liquors, Prince Frederick, and;
Southern Liquors, Lusby.
Establishments not in compliance are reported to the Liquor Board, which holds a hearing the fourth Thursday of each month to determine the consequence to the business.
