Seven Joplin stores sell alcohol to minors during JPD sting

(From the Joplin Police Department)

Between 2011 and 2014 in Missouri, there were 69 fatal crashes and 211 serious injury crashes involving an impaired driver under the age of 21. 85 people were killed and 324 seriously injured in these crashes. That's why law enforcement from across the state are stepping up enforcement and increasing awareness on this issue.
