Police Conduct Liquor Detail; Seven Stores Sold Alcohol to Minors

Detectives from the Westport Poilce Department checked twelve liquor stores and supermarkets Thursday to ensure they complied with laws requiring them to check for proper identification before selling alcohol. 

Of the 12 stores that were checked, seven failed to comply and sold alcohol to a minor without checking for proper identification.

Detectives also checked eight restaurants to ensure they were checking for identification before selling alcohol to patrons.  All eight eateries were in compliance, however one person was arrested when it was found that a fake drivers license was used to enter the premises.
