12/17/2003: "Jeffco Sheriff conducts liquor compliance checks"
On December 12, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office Intelligence Unit conducted numerous liquor compliance checks at retail liquor establishments within unincorporated Jefferson County.
The operation utilized "customers" who were more than eighteen years old but under the age of twenty-one. The "customers" entered the liquor-licensed establishments and attempted to purchase alcoholic beverages.
During the operation, 25 liquor-licensed establishments were visited. A total of 5 establishments sold alcohol to the under-age customers. This constitutes a failure to comply ratio of approximately 20%. This compliance ratio is twice as high as the last operation that was conducted in May of this year. Summonses were issued to store clerks and/or managers as a result of the Liquor Compliance Check Operation.
The following establishments were cited:
Bergen Park Wine Cellar – County Road 65 in Bergen Park
Loaf N’ Jug – Conifer Road in Aspen Park
Dakota Ridge Liquors – W. Belleview Ave in Littleton
Woody’s Liquors – W. Chatfield Ave in Littleton
King Soopers #78 – W. Chatfield Ave in Littleton
