The Sheriff's Office reported 38 DUI arrests in December (37 adults and one juvenile) and a year‑to‑date total of 386 DUI arrests; the State Police reported 25 DUIs for December and a year‑to‑date total of 416, producing a combined 802 DUI/DWI arrests for the year. The sheriff’s statistics recorded eight adults and six juveniles charged with possession of alcoholic beverages by a person under 21 in December (14 total) and 32 controlled‑substance violations (27 adults, 5 juveniles).

Compliance activity included 31 checks of bars and retail establishments in the period, with one compliance violation reported (an open container in a retail area). Alcohol‑related accidents for December numbered five for the sheriff’s office and six for the state police, with year totals of 58 (sheriff) and 46 (state police), and five alcohol‑related fatal accidents handled by the sheriff’s office during the year.

The coordinator told the board officers had attempted compliance operations in the quarter but canceled two planned compliance checks because of staffing or other operational issues (a confidential informant cancellation and a fatal accident investigation). The coordinator said quarterly compliance checks are being rescheduled.

Board members thanked the coordinator for the report and discussed New Year’s Eve activity, which the coordinator said was relatively subdued because of weather.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","1/11/2007 Alcohol Beverage Board","oneSentenceSummary","Board received a monthly enforcement update: DUI arrests, compliance checks, alcohol‑related accidents and other statistics for December and year‑to‑date.","taxTitle","St. Mary's County, Maryland","taxId",51086,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6358793,"Alcohol board accepts plea, dismisses some counts and fines Boatman Mini Mart operator",1828,2905000,4733000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2211023-0604d20fd2854d71d418d332222a138d&start=2905&end=4733","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2211023-0604d20fd2854d71d418d332222a138d/thumbnail_2905000.jpg","/articles/6358793/St-Marys-County/Maryland/Alcohol-board-accepts-plea-dismisses-some-counts-and-fines-Boatman-Mini-Mart-operator","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6358793-fc36a9a7581a8946c9430659669c7ad6/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448502&Signature=E28fIJf1Jfwq6J91Ea0wQYUOqIh88okpctyznnbr-IhpExzsovgXBl1PMVknCpGh8nqlSJmem2bLCB~GEVDzBbXTMcRGdDPLmq6Xi78sbZ661F3tN7Mg8aT92Q8Jepwny1O83f-hRrYrhe0~rCdjlh39GcDj5tPrBw7fhTMAtqxkKBA6KdilkIzwitVVrzAC5oQqM5Wrp5np-TD2unCCMWZ3pTZIQ79PPPusuyPFrD1S7hSaJRNpr6yQ1o8AA-U4ee0CRqv45iFzSkov5QUpBGLC5nKiuV8VBPqAGDQXvNwulyhKPrpktwb2ejQVvnaPpF5qYc6MTRscmOOqPYEYGA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Alcohol Beverage Board accepted a plea agreement with Scott Lee Boatman in a multi‑count enforcement case involving Boatman Mini Mart and related allegations from August 2006. The board dismissed certain administrative counts conditioned on compliance with the St. Mary’s County Health Department and imposed fines and a short suspension for two guilty counts.

Boatman, represented by attorney Perry Becker, pleaded guilty to (1) storage of alcoholic beverages outside licensed premises on Aug. 8, 2006 (identified in the transcript as a violation of section 12‑105, Article 2B of the Annotated Code of Maryland) and (2) sale or consumption of alcoholic beverages outside the licensed premises on that date (county ordinance section 190‑2 and board rules sections 2.01g and 2.13). Boatman admitted the alcohol had been placed in a locked van during a pending sale of the business and that sales occurred toward the end of a private team gathering that became a closed event with some later sales.

As part of the negotiated disposition the board dismissed two administrative counts related to regulatory violations and agreed to defer certain health‑department counts so long as Boatman completes required corrections. The board accepted a schedule under which Boatman must remove interior seating (health department septic issue) within 30 days and install a compliant three‑compartment sink and restore running water to a hand sink within 90 days. If he does not meet those deadlines the board may re‑charge the matters.

For the two guilty counts the board imposed penalties: a $500 fine with $100 suspended (count 1), and a $500 fine plus a five‑day license suspension for count 2. The board additionally extended Boatman’s existing probation by one year; the five‑day suspension was ordered to begin Jan. 12 and Boatman was told total fines come to $900 to be paid within 10 days. The board recorded that the plea agreement was reached with the prosecution and Boatman’s attorney and that revocation of the license was not recommended.

Boatman addressed the board, apologized and described the facts surrounding the events and the attempted sale of his business. His attorney said Boatman cooperated with the health department and would comply with the remediation timelines. The board voted to accept the plea agreement and sanctions with no recorded opposition.","The board accepted a plea from Scott Boatman, dismissed specified counts conditioned on health‑department compliance, and imposed fines and a suspension for off‑premises sales and storage violations.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6358798,"Board approves extended serving area for Lenny’s restaurant; ties approval to existing foundation boundaries",1686,1157000,2843000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2211023-0604d20fd2854d71d418d332222a138d&start=1157&end=2843","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2211023-0604d20fd2854d71d418d332222a138d/thumbnail_1157000.jpg","/articles/6358798/St-Marys-County/Maryland/Board-approves-extended-serving-area-for-Lennys-restaurant-ties-approval-to-existing-foundation-boundaries","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6358798-0c71de43abda3694b4c264fc32e87717/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448502&Signature=kjhjri59ZSB2udPEwEoyWOPp2EfEd0wuIbQbEkvdlILBMD2tpP4Wa8p4stztN3HzkczSsK4g9aH2q2hTEflgdI0VqNv6qRkQdiMK1dcrZcXtISAmqLzU-Ao472IQqgnNxeolSl3OIZtMdu6VDn849pP17FBRyt4DUaw0ZThhx6qIWL52pNR3hVtuDK3Mvy8QLH9ZCztKrSmmfBpfXhvVQjZXQAEoR4Ei4sf7c6o9JoK~SWRvuoz0fxSlQLDZqO2Tf1JSE4xNtUlmbINIDXJQJKqPO5MLADiGnWHeLsrOW7l82QaJunrQC3D9SFRhH715xth3mGTFRtoLJ0PvTr8NzQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Alcohol Beverage Board approved an extended serving area and use of portable serving counters for Lenny’s restaurant, allowing outdoor events within the footprint of an existing foundation adjacent to the building and subject to planning‑and‑zoning requirements.

Applicant Daniel Rybarczyk described plans for a temporary tented area that would occupy an existing foundation adjacent to the restaurant’s rear dining room. He told the board he has applied to county planning and zoning for a simplified site plan so he can leave a slab in place and include utilities if he intends to use the space more than 14 times a year. \"The tent size that we're actually negotiating to purchase right at this moment is a 40 by 60,\" Rybarczyk said during sworn testimony.

Board members and staff clarified the distinction between a temporary tent and a permanent slab. The board noted that if the site is used more than 14 times a year the county requires a simplified site plan; Rybarczyk said he has submitted that application to Planning & Zoning and expects the approval process to follow county timelines.

A board member moved to approve the extended serving area and portable serving counters, limited to the boundaries of the existing cinder‑block foundation shown on the applicant’s diagram; another board member seconded. The motion carried with no recorded opposition. The board recorded that the applicant had agreed to place a concrete slab in the indicated area and that any tent or temporary structure must conform to planning‑and‑zoning requirements.

The board advised the applicant to remove language referencing a \"tenant structure\" from the request to avoid confusion and reiterated that use beyond the county’s 14‑event threshold requires the applicant’s separate county approvals.","The board granted an extended premise and permission for portable serving counters at Lenny’s, conditional on use within the existing cinder‑block foundation area and compliance with county planning and zoning.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6358804,"Board approves Maryland Antique Center tea room for wine service and off‑sale bottles",311,815000,1126000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2211023-0604d20fd2854d71d418d332222a138d&start=815&end=1126","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2211023-0604d20fd2854d71d418d332222a138d/thumbnail_815000.jpg","/articles/6358804/St-Marys-County/Maryland/Board-approves-Maryland-Antique-Center-tea-room-for-wine-service-and-offsale-bottles","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6358804-4de3a1e641e0963f4014cfabd311a7b5/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448502&Signature=XymyaWJbpy98vtQLwjsGDh5Eg5pJ4QZjr1KMYDVmpMNiRdfMiMQHW6aoMNoNwubJa5KxxG9Uq-w4RkVFLxpNZT~sQc19uIe8eJ5rmYsuZwTZJ036pblKNck2deERvurrmnED5FZg3WPxXH7FMXdLfWU9xjc5cga~0Xcmuv1AhgCuraMs1hAydYExhDT9uz3QT~b3CdaTlxCXI6dlGhwut-YDK79Z7gSI4wRvQfDX99KiUFvzpkNwKFS3hZyY03Pd5yl9WxH~XKF487jQ2ZYF2Gt0ooQR0w~d59gnKHEvNDXgsnLd7OoSjYjUGp6AcwzfG1ECgcNI4UIpK4kSmRDT9w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Alcohol Beverage Board of St. Mary’s County approved a Class B restaurant beer/wine/liquor license for Dorothy Sparling’s Maryland Antique Center tea room, allowing on‑site wine service and off‑sale bottle sales.

Sparling told the board the tea room has operated at the location for about 11 years and the antique center building for roughly 15 years. She said the expanded license will allow the tea room to serve wine on site and to sell bottles–primarily wine–for off‑site consumption. “So we will be serving wine on‑site and selling wine off‑site in bottles,” Sparling said during her sworn testimony.

Sparling said she expects to employ three people initially and plans to take required training classes (TAMs) soon. She described plans to collaborate with the nearby winery and arts businesses to develop a local shopping and dining destination and to continue antiques and art offerings on the property.

A board member moved to approve the application as presented; another board member seconded. The motion carried with no recorded opposition.

The board noted Sparling must complete required certification and any outstanding permits as part of licensing follow‑up. Sparling said she expected to be ready within the timelines discussed with staff.","The Alcohol Beverage Board approved a Class B restaurant license for the Maryland Antique Center tea room, including on‑site wine service and off‑sale bottle sales; the licensee plans to work with local wineries.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6358809,"Alcohol board grants 60-day conditional off‑sale license for proposed Leonardtown gourmet wine shop",645,71000,716000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2211023-0604d20fd2854d71d418d332222a138d&start=71&end=716","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2211023-0604d20fd2854d71d418d332222a138d/thumbnail_71000.jpg","/articles/6358809/St-Marys-County/Maryland/Alcohol-board-grants-60-day-conditional-offsale-license-for-proposed-Leonardtown-gourmet-wine-shop","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6358809-c510e42bec807048af0ab2628b7fe249/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448502&Signature=bFr-2Bfowjzgke8g92f4TloHOr4uNJbfCTe8~KxMfCxC-ZV90PbeGMKJwHrqNNU8hh~2xlomFPMd5fJ4w8I87t5Pd1tGziKv6tavLe1jrJ~n~8zAYv1-hEMG1z0knIRcXPzlw1acQlNYczA6OyfR62d1r3DueAprXNmT1R97HtPcNeLiPNvQTizh9b5h0aU5k9FSfwNyzn5vhf~1E~o5uQSblsJwo4ALQz0qBhzsYmmOba-eND~z~cr8c0BKEZNHZ8T4r4gxWHP0Z6UrvNZXqy-AYvCedr0AWQSQbVffCBhsyQGFZQ0hrfBrSZZZv78WDZtIvtbK0IDpl7SIiGRXdQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Alcohol Beverage Board of St. Mary’s County conditionally approved a new off‑sale beer/wine/liquor license for a proposed Leonardtown specialty shop owned by Pamela Korber and Sheila Mattingly Wallow, with a 60‑day requirement to open or return to the board.

Korber told the board the business will sell “fine wines and also fine Maryland wines, liquors, top shelf liquors primarily” along with gourmet food items such as cheese, artisan breads and chocolates and that gift baskets would be made to order. “We would only sell gift baskets to people over 21 years old,” Korber said during the swearing‑in testimony.

Board members asked how the applicants would handle age verification for baskets and deliveries; Korber said baskets would be made to order, sold only to buyers 21 and older and that the applicants had no immediate plans for delivery. The applicants confirmed the business will operate as an off‑sale retail establishment and that they previously had not held a Maryland liquor license.

A board member moved to grant conditional approval requiring the licensee to open within 60 days; another board member seconded the motion. The board voted in favor with no recorded opposition.

The vote carries a monitoring expectation: the board told the applicants to return if they required an extension beyond 60 days. The board also complimented the application diagram and materials submitted with the file.

If the shop later pursues on‑premises service or an additional serving area (for example, a future wine bar), the board noted that a separate application or transfer would be needed.","The Alcohol Beverage Board conditionally approved a new off‑sale license for a Leonardtown specialty wine and gourmet shop, requiring the applicants to open within 60 days or seek an extension.","actionData","errors"]
