Three convenience stores
in Fairburn paid the price last week for selling alcohol to underage
patrons.
During last week's City Council
meeting, City Administrator Tony Cox said the city had agreed to a deal
with the three stores to have their licenses suspended for three days
as restitution for the violations.
Oct. 6, the Fairburn Police
Department conducted an investigation into complaints that alcohol was
being sold to minors. An underage male went into the Pit Stop at 647
Senoia Road, the Fairburn Chevron at 1865 Ga. Highway 74 east and Green
Oil at 7860 Senoia Road and purchased alcoholic beverages without being
asked for identification.
After the investigation,
city officials met with representatives from the three stores and reached
a plea bargain to have their alcoholic beverage licenses revoked for
three days.
The stores were not able
to sell alcohol Nov. 16, 17 or 18.
Cox said the suspension sent
the message that Fairburn will not tolerate this type of activity.
