Two cited for selling booze to underage patron in Mason City

MASON CITY – Two people face citations after Mason City police say they sold booze to an underage patron.

On Saturday, January 11th, 2020, the Mason City Police Department conducted alcohol compliance checks at local businesses that hold retail sales or on premises licenses issued by the Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division.

A total of eight businesses were checked for compliance. Six businesses were found to be in compliance. Those businesses include the following:

* Hy-Vee Gas, 1503 4th Street SF
* Yesway, 1303 4th Street SW
* Hy-Vee Drugstore, 847 Street SW
* Casey’s, 2701 19th Street SW
* Northside Liquor, 1303 N. Federal Ave.
* Liquor Tobacco and Grocery, 18 N. Monroe Ave

Two businesses sold alcohol to a person under age 21. Employees were cited for the violation and given a court date. The scheduled fine, surcharge, and court cost for selling alcohol to a minor is $735.00. Those cited include the following:

* Kylie Frazier, age 19, at Yesway, 1920 S. Federal Ave.
* Michelle Dunn, age 53, at Kwik Star, 1520 S. Federal Ave.

The Mason City Police Department would like to take this opportunity to remind liquor retailers to always verify that customers are of the legal age before selling them alcohol. When in doubt, request identification to verify date of birth of the purchaser. Refuse to sell to those without identification or those who may present questionable identification.
