The Springfield Police Department conducted an undercover alcohol sting Thursday night in an effort to remind merchants that it’s unlawful to sell alcohol to minors – especially now that prom season is upon us when underage individuals try to buy booze.
A total of 39 businesses were targeted using decoys, but only four sold alcohol to the plants. Springfield Police Chief Robert Williams says the sting was a reminder that the SPD will continue to be watchful with the hope that next time, nobody gets tagged with underage sales.
