NYS Police Conduct Underage Drinking Enforcement Operation in Northern Westchester

On February 6, 2016, the New York State Police in Somers conducted an underage drinking enforcement operation in northern Westchester County. Numerous retail establishments were checked throughout the Towns of Somers, North Salem, Lewisboro and Pound Ridge by utilizing a nineteen-year old volunteer to purchase alcohol under the observation of plainclothes investigators supported by uniformed troopers. Two clerks sold beer to the volunteer and were arrested. The following persons were charged during the operation:

 
1. Colin Rose, 23, of North Salem, NY, employed at the RT-35 Shell Gas Station, Lewisboro NY.
 
2. Karen Monroy, 24, of Carmel, NY, employed at Rt-22 Shell Gas Station, North Salem, NY.

They were issued appearance tickets for 65-C of the ABC Law to appear in local court at a later date and released. In addition, their employers face possible civil penalties imposed by the State Liquor Authority.
 
The New York State Police, with investigative support provided by the New York State Liquor Authority, routinely conducts underage drinking enforcement operations throughout the state in an effort to curb alcohol abuse and DWI incidents among teenagers.
