How A Sting Operation Led To Arrests At Amigas In Illinois

Employees from a restaurant in Illinois were arrested for letting a group of teenagers get drunk while they were hanging out in their business.

Minor Drinking Bust At Illinois Restaurant

I'm not afraid to admit it, but back in my younger years, I was a bit of a troublemaker. As a teenager in high school, my friends and I were always trying to get our hands on some beer or booze. We liked to go to parties and get drunk. It was a different time back in those days.

Of course, we had our go-to places to purchase alcohol as minors. Those joints either never carded us or let us use our really bad fake IDs. When I think back to those times, it's hard to believe we would get away with it all the time.

Nowadays, the law is much stricter. They send uncover officers out to try and bust places that break the law. It's much harder for minors to purchase booze. I was really surprised to hear about this story.

According to Patch...

Fourteen people, including two employees, were cited last week on liquor-related charges, authorities said.

Police said the citations were issued about 10:20 p.m. Thursday at Amigas Restaurant, 671 W. North Ave.

The employees, a 41-year-old Carol Stream man and a 27-year-old Medinah man, were cited on charges of selling liquor to minors.

I can't believe these restaurant employees allowed the minors to drink in their business. Now, they were arrested too. Definitely, not worth the trouble. I can understand the kids trying, but the adults should know better.
