CONSTABLEVILLE- Authorities from the New York State Police recently executed an underage drinking initiative in Lewis County.

On Friday, October 2, over a dozen establishments were tested to ensure compliance in following New York’s ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Control) laws – specifically for selling to those under the age of 21.

Out of 14 total businesses checked in this operation, Constableville Petroleum was the only one found not to be in compliance.

Authorities allege that store employee Kirpal Singh, 47, allegedly sold an alcoholic beverage to an 18-year-old operative.

Singh was charged with misdemeanor counts of unlawfully dealing with a child in the first-degree and prohibitive sale of alcoholic beverage to a person under 21.

Those charges are returnable to West Turin Town Court at a later date.

The following businesses were found to be in compliance with NYS Alcoholic Beverage Control Laws:

  • Hilltop Market, 1187 State Route 26 West Leyden, NY
  • Dollar General, 6804 McAlpine Street Lyons Falls, NY
  • Stewarts Shops, 3906 State Route 12 Lyons Falls, NY
  • Cliff's Store, 3205 State Route 12 Port Leyden, NY
  • Slider's, 6215 Number Four Road Lowville, NY
  • Fastrac, 5610 Shady Ave Lowville, NY
  • A-Z Liquors, 7502 East State Street Lowville, NY
  • Kinney Drugs, 7395 Utica Blvd Lowville, NY
  • 7-Eleven, 7392 Utica Blvd Lowville, NY
  • Sunoco A-Plus, 7509 South State Street Lowville, NY
  • Parkway Liquors, 5405 Parkway Drive Lowville, NY
  • Lyons Falls Liquors, 6085 McAlpine Street Lyons Falls, NY
  • Stewarts Shops, 7491 S. State Street Lowville, NY

The New York State Police commend these businesses for their diligence and commitment to preventing underage drinking.

During Underage Drinking Initiative details, Investigators utilize plainclothes members and underage operatives who are prohibited from lying about their age or presenting false identification if asked. Businesses that request identification and refuse the sale when appropriate are considered compliant.

The New York State Police will continue conducting Underage Drinking Initiative details throughout the region to promote responsible alcohol sales and help prevent underage drinking.
