In a recent government meeting, officials took decisive action regarding the licenses of a local business owner following allegations of selling alcohol to underage individuals. The board temporarily revoked one license and discussed the potential suspension of two additional licenses held by the same owner, who operates three establishments: 49 and Mart, JC One Stop, and We Got You Bar.
During the meeting, it was emphasized that the temporary revocation would be reviewed at the next board meeting, where the licensee will have the opportunity to present their case. The board members unanimously agreed to suspend the other two licenses pending further consideration, highlighting a commitment to addressing violations seriously.
Commissioner Martin noted the importance of maintaining standards and preventing the promotion of \"bad behavior\" among license holders. The legal advice provided during the meeting underscored that any suspendable offense should affect all licenses held by the individual, reinforcing the board's stance on accountability.
The board will send a notice of the temporary revocation to the licensee, and the matter will be placed on the agenda for the upcoming meeting, where further actions will be determined. This decision reflects a broader effort to ensure compliance with alcohol sale regulations and protect community standards.
