On March 11, 2010, Sioux Falls Police conducted a compliance check of 25 off-sale alcohol establishments.

Of the 25 establishments, 3 sold to a person under the age of 21. The clerks who sold to a minor were issued a citation for furnishing alcohol to a person 18-20 years old (SDCL 35-9-1.1) with a mandatory court appearance required.

The establishments where the purchases were made are as follows:

• Thrifty Smoke Shop, 5101 West 12th Street
• Sunshine Foods, 2700 West Tenth Street
• Flying J (Convenience Store), 5201 North Granite Lane

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.
