Nine Fayetteville businesses

have been cited for selling alcohol to minors as the result of an undercover

sting by the Police Department.

The businesses, and the employees

who sold the alcohol to the undercover officer, have been issued citations

and are scheduled to answer the charges in municipal court Thursday, Aug.

22, according to Lt. Beverly Trainor of the Fayetteville Police Department.

The stores cited were:

Applebee's Grill and Bar,

792 N. Glynn St.

Cobblestone Amoco, 775 E.

Lanier Ave.

Eckerd Drugs Store # 2157,

A total of 46 businesses in

Fayetteville are licensed to sell alcohol and the sting targeted all the

businesses in a "compliance check," Trainor said.

The Police Department had been

receiving some complaints about the matter, she confirmed.

The businesses cited for selling

to the underage police operative could have their licenses to sell alcohol

suspended or revoked, according to Fayetteville's alcohol sales ordinance.

The employees cited for violating

the alcohol ordinance could be convicted of a misdemeanor.
