May 11 the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) and Midland Empire Alcohol Task Force (MEATF) conducted a joint investigation in Livingston County checking locations which sell alcoholic beverages both by the drink and retail for compliance checks.

During the investigation 3 violations were observed being:

48-year-old Chillicothe resident cited in the 1200 block of Washington Street.

35-year-old Chillicothe resident cited in the 1100 block of Washington Street.

50-year-old Chillicothe resident cited in the 300 block of Washington Street.

The MEATF provided the underage person, funds to purchase the evidence and overtime reimbursement for the LCSO deputies.

Our goals were to identify anyone not properly following requirements and our intention is to follow back with training offered for these three people, area businesses and their employees on legal requirements selling intoxicants.
