Four prior offenders cited in alcohol sting

Four of 10 Washington County stores receiving prior citations for underage alcohol sales were cited again during a sting operation May 23.

Between 6:20 p.m. and 9 p.m., Washington County Sheriff's Office deputies and decoys between 18 and 20 years old visited the stores where decoys had made illegal alcohol purchases in the past.

The decoys entered the stores and brought alcoholic beverages to the counter to purchase. If the clerk asked the decoy for their identification, the decoy provided their actual Oregon drivers license.

Clerks that sold alcohol to the decoys were cited. The clerks who refused to sell to the decoys were informed of the operation.

The following stores sold alcohol to the decoys:

AM/PM Mini Mart, 9560 NW Glencoe Road, Hillsboro.
