NEWS RELEASE
Alcohol Compliance Checks
May 10, 2023

Compliance with alcohol laws is an important part of keeping our youth safe and healthy. In an
effort to verify compliance, Norfolk Police, with a grant provided by Healthy Communities
Initiative, occasionally checks local business to verify they are also doing their part. Underage
participants worked with law enforcement and use their own valid Nebraska Driver’s license
during the checks.
The checks were conducted on two separate evenings over the last couple weeks. A total of
62 businesses were checked to verify their compliance. During the checks, 6 businesses sold
alcohol to minors. They were:
Love’s Truck Stop, 1300 Monroe Avenue
Casey's, 1020 S 13th Street
Wal-Mart, 2400 Pasewalk Avenue
Shoppers Express, 810 W Norfolk Avenue
Ricardo's Mexican Restaurant, 800 S 13th Street
Black Cow Fat Pig Restaurant, 702 W Norfolk Avenue
Half of the locations did not check IDs and the other half checked the ID but still sold alcohol to
the minor.
Citations were issued at each location and will be forwarded to the Madison County Attorney
for prosecution. Reports will also be forwarded to the Nebraska Liquor Commission or review.
Thank you to Norfolk Fire for providing a staging area for the event.
