Three Arrested in Under-Age Alcohol Sales
La Nortena Tortilleria
WASCO — A sting in the City of Wasco has three local businesses facing the potential loss of their liquor licenses.
La Nortena Bakery at 1000 “F” Street, Wasco Chevron at 2033 Highway 46, and Amigo’s Meat Market at 829 Highway 46 may face Alcoholic Beverage Control administrative sanctions due to their employees selling alcohol to minor decoys.
The month-long operation, made possible through grant funding, was conducted countywide by detectives with the Kern County Sheriff’s Office working in cooperation with agents from the State of California ABC.
