THE GILROY POLICE DEPARTMENT BUSTED TWO LIQUOR STORES FOR UNDERAGE ALCOHOL SALES DURING A MINOR DECOY OPERATION ON FRIDAY. CHARLIE’S LIQUORS AND EAGLE RIDGE LIQUORS WERE THE TWO WHO FAILED TO CHECK IDENTIFICATION OUT OF 28 TOTAL STORES SURVEYED. BOTH STORES WILL LIKELY RECEIVE FINES OF BETWEEN 750 AND 3 THOUSAND DOLLARS, THOUGH NEITHER WILL LOSE THEIR LIQUOR LICENSE DUE TO IT BEING THE FIRST OFFENSE FOR BOTH. THE STORE CLERKS WILL ALSO BE CHARGED WITH MISDEMEANORS.
