Out of 14 businesses that were checked, only Pump 'N Stuff, made an unlawful sale. This is a significant improvement over the previous check conducted in March, in which seven out of 14 businesses failed. Pump 'N Stuff also failed the March compliance check.
"Although our goal is 100 percent compliance, we are very pleased with the significant increase during this check," said Vermillion Police Chief Art Mabry. "It demonstrates that our businesses are addressing the issue and alcohol compliance checks work."
