Enforcement report: December checks found five violations; deputies recorded 19 DUIs countywide
Summary
Deputy alcohol enforcement coordinator Steve Myers reported five compliance violations (three alcohol-related) from December compliance checks and said deputies recorded 19 DUIs in the month, 10 of them by State Police.
The St. Mary's County Alcohol Beverage Board received its monthly enforcement report Jan. 8. Deputy Steve Myers said combined compliance checks in December covered 22 locations and yielded five violations, three of which were alcohol‑board related. "We had, 19 DUIs for the month of December," Myers said, noting State Police accounted for 10 of those arrests.
Myers said he conducted stationary surveillances at two liquor stores with no violations found, and that the posted suspension and routine park visits produced no additional enforcement action. In response to board questions, Myers said two of the three alcohol violations were first-time offenses and one was a repeat.
Myers also reported he provided training at the sheriff's office on crisis intervention and behavioral health collaboration. The board did not take enforcement action at the meeting beyond noting the report; follow-up investigations and administrative steps for the violations were not detailed in the hearing record.
