The detail on Wednesday, April 1st was conducted at various establishments to determine if any businesses had sold alcoholic beverages to minors under the age of 21. A total of 18 locations were visited with five establishments in the city of Mt. Carmel involved in the illegal sale of alcohol to a minor. The employees at those locations were ticketed for Unlawful Delivery of Alcoholic Liquor to a Minor, a Class A Illinois misdemeanor.
