NORTH PLATTE — During the evening hours of Friday, February 25, Nebraska State Patrol investigators conducted alcohol inspections in Dawson County.
This project was supported in whole or part by grant #93.959 under the SAMHSA Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, Region II Human Services, and the Nebraska DHHS Division of Behavioral Health.
In total, 15 businesses were checked. Two businesses sold alcohol to a minor for a 13% non-compliance rate. One business failed to check the minor’s ID.
The businesses which failed the inspections were:
Mac’s Creek Winery and Brewery – Lexington (Did not check ID, sold to a minor)
Mac’s Short Stop – Lexington (Checked ID, sold to a minor)
The businesses checked included convenience stores, restaurants, a bowling alley, liquor stores, and bars. Businesses that fail the inspections are referred to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission. Clerks who sell alcohol to a minor are cited for procuring alcohol for a minor.
