NORTH PLATTE, Neb. -- Two western Nebraska businesses were cited during alcohol inspections by the Nebraska State Patrol last week.

During the evening hours of Friday, April 8, investigators with the Nebraska State Patrol conducted inspections in Keith County.

The 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, 14 businesses were inspected. Two of those businesses sold alcohol to a minor, for a non-compliance rate of 14 percent. All of the businesses checked the minor’s ID.

The businesses which failed the inspections were:

Ole’s Big Game Lounge – Paxton

The businesses inspected included convenience stores, restaurants, liquor stores, and bars. Businesses that sell alcohol to a minor are referred to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission. Clerks who sell alcohol to a minor are cited for procuring alcohol for a minor.
