In six businesses, employees sold beer to the youth without making any attempt to determine his age, Klamser said. The employees were cited for a misdemeanor violation and could be fined up to $500. The cases will be referred to the state Alcoholic Beverage Control Department for possible disciplinary action against the holders of the stores’ liquor sales licenses, Klamser said.
