CU Bars in the News, Police issue 21 citations for underage possession or purchase of alcohol

From the News-Gazette

Police issue 21 citations for underage possession or purchase of alcohol.

CHAMPAIGN — State police, with help from Champaign police, issued 21 citations for possession or purchase of alcohol by minors ages 18 to 20 years old late Saturday night and early Sunday morning as part of the Operation Campus Tap program.

Sgt. Bill Emery of the state police said Operation Campus Tap is intended to address underage drinking among college-age and high school-age youths.

Emery said police conducted bar checks at 10 locations in Champaign.

Clybourne, 706 S. Sixth St., was the site with the most citations, with nine; followed by Kam’s, 618 E. Daniel (five citations), Station 211, 211 E. Green St. (four citations), Bradley’s, 1906 W. Bradley (two citations) and Chester Street Bar, 65 Chester St. (one citation).

I wonder if it was the kid who was claiming it was his 21st birthday, who was saying that his buddies were going to the bullet, and he didn't want to go there.
