What is the fine of selling alcohol to minor in Tennessee?
No, you will not go to jail. In my city, the fine and court costs are about $500-600. If you are an employee of the business, you will probably be fired. The business will have to go before the city Beer Board and will possibly be fined and be put on probation. If this is a repeat offense by the business, it could lose its license to sell beer. It doesn't matter if it was an accident or intentional. It doesn't matter if it was a police check or a regular customer. It was against the law.
Got terminated for selling alcohol to a minor?
Hi. A couple of days ago I accidentally sold alcohol to a minor in one of those ABC stings. I live in Virginia. I asked for the ID but I misread it and didn't type in the exact birthday. If this wasn't worse enough, I had two stings in a row and I sold to them both :(. I was fired on the spot and have to go to court and pay a fine. I feel really terrible about it and it's the biggest mistake I've ever done. Is there ANY way I could get rehired? The only thing I can think of that would help my case is that I wasn't informed about the stings by my supervisor when everybody else apparently was. By VA law, can I still be rehired, even if they take me off register and I can just bag? Is there any possible loopholes or am I doomed. Thank you for reading :/
Penanlty for selling alcohol to a minor in louisiana?
Do I Automatically Lose my Liquor License for Selling Alcohol to a Minor? No, things are not quite that cut and dry. There are various factors that go into deciding exactly who is punished, and to what degree, if a minor is served alcohol. First of all, although all states do have a 21 year old minimum for buying and drinking alcohol, it is not a federal law. This means that each state is free to create its own laws, punishments, and agencies. California, for instance, has the Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), which is responsible for drafting and enforcing the provisions of the liquor license. Each state's agency will have specific enforcement provisions about the punishments for violating a liquor license. In general, the agency is free to revoke a license for ANY offense, even a first one, but in practice they will usually give first time offenders a fine, warning, and/or a suspension of the license (usually a week or so). If the offense is particularly blatant, the license may be revoked, however. Also, if you are cited for selling to a minor again within a year of your first citation, many boards automatically revoke your license (some states allow 3 times in one year). Upon receiving a citation, you can request an administrative hearing to present your side of the story and any mitigating factors you might have, or can agree to the punishment and submit. If your license is revoked, you generally must wait at least six months before applying for another, a process which will be made even more difficult and costly due to the revocation on your record.

Can a minor working in a store sell cigarettes or alcohol?
No, you cannot sell alcohol and cigarettes legally until you are of the age when you are permitted to buy them yourself. Cigarettes are such a great harm to human health that condoning their handling by people below a certain age is reprehensible. It is probably reprehensible at any age. With alcohol, the case is more subtle, but some experience of the world in general is required to use and thus to dispense these products maturely. Do you think that you should be permitted to offer samples of wine, for instance, at an in-store tasting, even though you don't taste the wine yourself? Where would you draw the line and how would you write the law?
I sold to a minor in a sting... what do I do?
So, The craziest thing happened today. We were busy as hell at the liquor store that I work at and this guy comes up, whom I found out was not a guy it was in fact an underage shithead. He Bought a 22oz Busch Ice which even then I should have known something was not right, I mean what kid buys Busch. In the Midst of all the commotion I didn't check his ID. I messed.... So now I have a wonderful peice of paper that says I have a Sitation. My Boss is Irate and I'm pretty sure I'm losing my Job. Its a family run store that is very clean and well known among the city I live in. I guess my question is what do I do? I didn't sell to him on purpose. It was a simple mistake that could happen to anyone. I have to go to court in ten days and explain myself...... what the hell do I do?
Furnishing alcohol to minors, should I plead no contest?
You won't go to jail. You haven't "ruined" your life. You will not kill yourself. Now, let's talk reality...and with honesty. Your life isn't ruined, but it's facing a crisis situation. It is time for damage control. Do Not plead guilty! There are lots of reasons that there is an option (not always, but in most cases - yours included) to plead "no contest" (nolo contendere for those that think it makes them sound smarter by saying it that way). As to sentencing, a plea of gulity and a plea of no contest are the same. But there are major differences otherwise. Your options then, are, No Contest and Not Guilty. You say you're going to court tomorrow. That means you are having an arraignment hearing. That's all. No trial tomorrow. No evidence hearing. No cop who busted you. Nothing. Not tomorrow anyway. Tomorrow you will be on time, wearing dress clothes, respectful of and to the court (specifically the judge who you will address in a clear, calm manner as "Your Honor") and you will enter a plea (after you are called forward from the gallery to stand before the bench) after the judge asks you two simple questions: "Do you understand the charges filed against you?" and, "To those charges, how do you plead?" Your answers will be: Yes, Your Honor. and, Not Guilty. Clear? You will then scrape together money from whatever (and I do mean whatever) legally allowable methods you must and retain legal counsel!!! You have too much at stake - and no criminal record (traffic tickets are not part of a criminal record) - to do anything other than what I have described. You are going to get through this - not completely unscathed, but not "ruined" - and get on with your life goals!
Can you be arrested for attempting to purchase alcohol underage?
Absolutely.Even if you with a bunch of people and are 20, some places take carding very seriously.One of my favorite young guys, who’s all but my daughter’s step-brother (his mother provided daycare for my daughter for years, and she is BFF with his sister), who’s one of the nicest, handsomest, most agreeable and generally law abiding people I’ve ever met, got arrested at a local supermarket in our “friendly” burg for attempting to purchase alcohol.After that, he was continually harassed by the local police. He bought a different car, he was so desperate.I taught him how to swing on a rope swing across a river when he was 8.Sure, he probably was going to drink a beer or two. No, I don’t think a lot of teens should be using alcohol. But…c’mon, here was this mostly law abiding adult, who now feels like life is living hell, because of the arrest.It’s harder for him to get jobs. He had to spend some time in the local cooler (jail) while his parents posted bond. The police were not nice.So…just don’t go there.
Accidentally sold tobacco and alcohol to minor?
So i stupidly didn't ID a minor today at work. Had i actually known they were a minor of course i would not have sold them it but that's not the point. The point is i did it and i am willing to accept responsibility for it. I will pay my fines and learn from my mistake. I just really need to know am i going to lose my job. I really do not want to get fired for this. i work at a big river gwhy as station which is basically Shell gas station. Im in the state of Louisiana. I called my manager right away and told her what happened andi asked her will inbe fired for this and she told me she didn't know she has to talk to the office about it that its in their hands not hers. I really don't want to lose my job over this. also can anyone tell me how much i am going to have to pay for the fines. I asked the police who wrote me the ticket and they were of no help at all. Im young only 23 and i really don't want this to mess up my job but like i said i understand this is my fault
