Alcohol violation. Police issued a notice to appear in court to a 44-year-old local gas station clerk after he sold alcohol to a minor.
A 14-year-old teen, who was working as an operative with the local police department, grabbed a can of beer from a cooler and brought it to the front of the store to buy. The clerk asked to see his ID, and the teen placed it on the counter. The clerk never inspected it, according to the police incident report, and continued with the sale.
The teen then turned the beer over to an undercover police detective who was waiting outside. The detective confronted the clerk and placed him under arrest. The clerk said that he chose an option on the register during the sale which allowed him to bypass manually entering the client's date of birth.
He was released on the scene.
