All 22 Fayetteville businesses

emerged unscathed from an undercover operation to check if they were complying

with state and local ordinances regarding the sales of alcoholic beverages,

police said.

The sting was conducted Wednesday

Group of the Georgia Department of Revenue's Alcohol and Tobacco

Division.

Several local establishments

have been cited in recent months after they were found in violation of

state laws and city ordinances relating to alcohol sales. Most recently,

Thai Land of Smiles was cited for selling alcohol without a license.

The city requires each individual

business to have a license to sell alcohol, and each employee of that

business who will be selling alcohol must also be registered and given

a special ID badge issued by the police department once that person passes

the criminal background check.

The Fayetteville Police Department

was pleased that all establishments were found to be in compliance during

the undercover investigation, said Lt. Beverly Trainor.
