ABC Targets Tailgate Drinkers

{Kentucky}...The state department of Alcoholic Beverage Control is warning tailgaters they should expect to see a spike in enforcement. The ABC conducted a Targeted Enforcement Detail last weekend during the UK vs. U of L game at Commonwealth Stadium, and, as a result, 40 citations were given at the game, including one each for alcohol intoxication, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, assisting a minor in purchase of alcohol, misrepresenting one’s age in purchase of alcohol, and possession of a forged instrument. While enforcement details focus on underage drinking, officials with the ABC warn they’re watching everyone.
