Batavia police conducted what they call "a compliance check" Friday night in the city to see if alcohol was being sold to minors. Seventeen stores were visited by underage youths working with the police. Three were in violation.

  • Laura A. Smith, 49, at CVS on West Main Street.
  • Rachel Chaddock, 19, at Southside Deli on Ellicott Street.
  • Tsige Tamirat, 46, at the M & T Express on West Main Street.

Summons were issued to the individuals for violating the Alcohol and Beverage Control Act that addresses the prohibited sale of alcohol to persons under 21 years of age. The compliance check was funded by the Genesee Council on Alcohol and Substance Abuse.
