Only 3 businesses sell alcohol to minors in McDonald County compliance check

(From the McDonald County Sheriff's Office)

On April 24, 2026, the McDonald County Sheriff’s Office, in partnership with the Alliance of Southwest Missouri and the McDonald County Community Coalition, conducted alcohol compliance checks at 28 locations throughout McDonald County.

The operation was carried out as part of an overtime initiative involving sheriff’s deputies, along with the assistance of volunteers ages 18 to 19 who participated in the compliance checks. The Sheriff’s Office extends its appreciation to these volunteers for their dedication, as well as to the businesses and employees who remained vigilant in preventing the sale of alcohol to minors.

The Alliance of Southwest Missouri and the McDonald County Community Coalition will also be offering future training opportunities for local businesses and employees. These trainings will focus on identifying fake identification and preventing illegal alcohol purchases.
