On April 23, 2008, the Sioux Falls Police Department conducted a compliance check of 24 off-sale alcohol establishments within the Sioux Falls city limits.

Of the 24 establishments checked only 1 made a sale to a person under the age of 21. The clerk making the sale was issued a citation for furnishing alcohol to a person 18-20 years old (SDCL 35-9-1.1) with a mandatory court appearance required. Businesses making sales to underage persons may face fines, suspensions, or loss of their liquor or malt licenses.

The business making the sale was: Kum & Go, 2101 West 49th Street.

In an effort to protect the young people of our community, the Sioux Falls Police Department will continue to do random alcohol compliance checks of all on-sale and off-sale alcohol establishments within the city limits.
