Washoe County sheriff’s deputies conducted compliance checks of establishments in the Incline Village and South Reno areas on Oct. 10, and cited one business for selling alcohol to a minor.

Deputies sent an underage person into 11 businesses to attempt to purchase alcohol. The businesses included four bar/restaurants, one liquor store and six convenience stores. Staff at 10 of the 11 businesses asked for identification and declined the sale. One business, a convenience store, completed the sale and was cited for non-compliance.

Washoe County Sheriff Mike Haley reminds parents and businesses it is a crime to supply alcohol to minors. Juvenile drinking increases the possibility of traffic accidents, injuries and deaths, and these tragedies are preventable, deputies said.
