Paducah Police have cited several area businesses, after they reportedly sold alcohol to an underage man.

According to police, officers and detectives sent a young man into Paducah and McCracken County stores Friday evening to buy alcohol. 

Police said that even though in many of the cases employees asked for identification, which clearly indicated the man was under 21, they continued with the sale. Capt. Brian Laird called the operation, “a pro-active effort to prevent the sale of alcohol to our youth.”
