ISP: Four Employees Arrested For Selling Alcohol To Minors In Will & Grundy Counties
Will and Grundy, Illinois – Illinois State Police (ISP) Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) Zone 1 Agents conducted Alcohol Countermeasure Enforcement (ACE) surveillance at various establishments during the evening hours of Tuesday, March 14th, 2023, in Will County and Grundy County. The purpose of these ACE details is to determine which businesses may be selling alcoholic beverages to minors (persons under 21 years of age). The ultimate goals are to enforce underage drinking laws and save lives by preventing impaired driving crashes and fatalities.
