On Oct. 31 and Nov. 2, Truckee police officers conducted a minor decoy program in which a minor was used to attempt to purchase alcohol from businesses licensed in Truckee as “off-sale” retailers by the California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control.

Of the 18 licensed off-sale alcohol businesses in Truckee only one store, J&L Food Mart located at 12105 Donner Pass Road, completed a sale of alcohol to the minor decoy.

The clerk was cited for a violation of selling alcohol to a minor and released with a promise to appear.
