Sheriff’s Office spokesman Kevin Kelshaw, informed local Historic City News reporters that citations were issued recently to four convenience store clerks who were charged with selling alcohol to a minor; part of the sheriff’s continuing effort to combat underage drinking in St Johns County.
During the “Alcohol Compliance Detail” Saturday, December 29, a 17-year-old female attempted to purchase alcohol from 14 different establishments countywide.
“Our Youth Services Unit, in conjunction with the P.A.C.T. Coalition, conducts the unannounced inspections,” Kelshaw told reporters. “The juvenile girl, clearly under 21-years-old, would produce her actual identification, if asked; and, she would state her true age, if requested.”
Citations were issued to:
• Kangaroo, 4540 US-1 North, a 75-year old female sold a 4 pack of beer.
• Hess Station, 2480 SR-207, a 44-year old male sold a 4 pack of beer.
• 7-Eleven, 1790 US-1 South, a 58-year old female sold a 4 pack of beer.
• Kangaroo, 2800 US-1 South, a 51-year old female sold a 4 pack of beer.
