ALCOHOL COMPLIANCE CHECKS 

During the evening hours of Monday, October 30, 2017 officers with the Webb City Police Department conducted an underage alcohol purchase operation. 

Officers had an 18-year-old male attempt to purchase alcohol at eight Webb City stores that sell alcohol. Five of the stores refused to sell the minor alcohol. Three of the stores did sell alcohol to the minor; two of which sold alcohol to him after checking his Missouri driver’s license. 

The clerks at the three stores in who sold alcohol to the minor were issued summons to appear in Webb City Municipal Court.

We appreciate the diligence of the clerks at the stores who did not sell alcohol to the minor.
