One Stop Food Mart admitted selling alcohol to a 19‑year‑old on June 25. The board ordered a $1,500 fine, $2.50 admin fee, mandatory training and two‑year probation with a one‑week suspension held in abeyance; vote 3‑0.
One Stop Food Mart admitted that on or about June 25, 2026 a clerk sold an alcoholic beverage to a 19‑year‑old buyer. The licensing office entered the incident report and buyer report into the record and the board moved to impose second‑offense sanctions.
Staff described a prior deferred‑judgment sales‑to‑minor matter on the license and recommended the standard penalty for a second offense: $1,500 fine, $2.50 administrative fee, mandatory Violation Prevention Class (VPC) with class fee of $200, and two‑year probation with a one‑week suspension held in abeyance, no buyback allowed. The licensee acknowledged the error and said the business will reinforce ID checks and the use of an issued scanner.
Commissioners discussed the small, family‑run nature of the store and offered a three‑month payment plan option; the board adopted the motion with a 3‑0 vote and staff will follow up with payment and training logistics.
