November 15, 2024

On September 27, 2024, at 3 p.m., the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Alcohol Enforcement Unit conducted a series of alcohol compliance checks in St. Mary’s County.

These undercover checks involved a 19-year-old Confidential Informant (CI) from the Sheriff’s Office, dressed in athletic-style pants and shirt, who attempted to purchase alcohol to test each business’s compliance with underage sales laws.

The CI was accompanied by Corporal Kristie Nelson from the Special Operations Division, who was also in civilian attire.

Twelve businesses were checked, and all complied with Maryland law by verifying the CI’s age and refusing to sell alcohol to an underage individual.
