The Attorney replied that his office would prosecute cases involving under-age sale to persons aged 18, 19, or 20. Cases involving minors would be handled by the County Attorney. The Attorney reported that in reviewing his records, he does not find that he has prosecuted any such cases in the last two to three years. There could have been cases in which tags were issued and plea bargains m1de, however. Morelan indicated Chat from tliis infonnation it does not appear there is a huge problem in Little Canlda, and it appears that the liquor business owners are doing a good job of complying with State law.
