Algonquin Store Flunks Liquor Check

A month-long liquor enforcement operation by the McHenry County Sheriff's office and Illinois State Police found an Algonquin business one of three alleged to have sold alcohol to a minor.

Sheriff Keith Nygren said Town Liquors, 1127 W. Algonquin Road sold alcoholic beverage to an underage volunteer police sent in for a compliance check.  Nygren said two stores in McHenry and Cary similarly failed the check.

Nygren said 29 other stores around the county did pass the test, though.

Why is it not illegal for the sheriff's department to send a minor into a liquor store to purchase liquor? It should be against the law for law enforcement agencies to break the law to enforce it!

Guess it is just too expensive to watch a store until a known minor enters and buys liquor.
