Task Force: compliance checks found multiple sales to underage decoys; businesses to receive warning letters

Anaconda-Deer Lodge County DUI Task Force · April 16, 2026

Summary

Task force members reported that March 26 compliance checks found many establishments sold alcohol to underage confidential informants; law enforcement and the county attorney will send letters warning businesses that citations may follow future checks.

Morgan Smith, ADLC County Attorney, reported that compliance checks conducted on March 26 found many establishments sold alcohol to underage confidential informants working with officers. The meeting minutes record that criminal citations were not issued for that round; instead, law enforcement and the County Attorney's Office will generate letters to notify establishments of their performance and warn that citations may be issued following future compliance checks.

The compliance-check results were presented as part of the task force's unfinished business. Members discussed outreach and administrative responses; the minutes record the plan to send formal notices rather than immediately pursue criminal citations for the March 26 checks.
