Grand Forks Police conducted 18 alcohol compliance checks on Thursday.
Fifteen businesses passed the test, but three failed – Applebee’s, Paradiso and the Long Haul Saloon.
Under the supervision of a police officer, an underage buyer enters the establishment and tries to buy alcohol without hiding their age. If a sale is completed, it is observed by the officer, and enforcement action is taken.
A “failure” typically results in a citation in Municipal Court for the individual server. As for the business and its liquor license status, action against the license is an option for the City of Grand Forks for repeated violations.
The P-D conducts several compliance checks each year.
