WCSO targets underage sales of tobacco and alcohol
The Warren County Sheriff’s Office conducted a focused enforcement effort regarding the sales of alcohol, tobacco, and vaping products to underage people.
Deputies from the School Resource Division coordinated with a trusted young adult to conduct compliance checks on 12 local businesses.
Only 3 of those actually properly checked ID and disallowed the sale.
These businesses were thanked for their compliance while clerks at the other stores were issued a summons.
The sheriff’s office plans to continue these compliance checks through the summer.
