Alcohol Allegedly Sold to Minors at Several Trumbull Businesses

Four Trumbull businesses have been called out for allegedly selling alcohol to underage patrons. Out of eleven establishments, these stores were cited for failing the liquor compliance checks conducted Wednesday by the state’s Consumer Protection Department.

Officers from the Trumbull Police Department worked with a group of minors who had volunteered to be trained by the Governor’s Prevention Partnership.

Of the eleven package stores, grocery stores, bars and restaurants in Trumbull, the four stores that failed by allegedly selling to one of the volunteer youths were: Stop and Shop, Marisa’s Ristorante, Ruby Tuesday and Asian Village.

Each business will be given the chance to meet with the Liquor Control Commission before legal consequences are enacted. 

“We wish to thank Chief Thomas Kiely and the officers of the Trumbull Police Department for their participation and support, and recognize the seven local businesses that were in full compliance with the State’s liquor laws,” Consumer Protection Commissioner William M. Rubenstein said today. 

“Restricting sales of alcohol to minors is a responsibility that we expect retailers to faithfully observe throughout the year, in order to prevent needless tragedy.”
