- Buscemi’s Beverage Barrel – 1433 Military Street
- The Smoke Shop – 1420 24th Street
- Speedy Q Market – 1301 10th Street
The businesses were ticketed, and the fines for selling tobacco to minors are $100 for the first ticket, $200 for the second, and $2500 for the third. This is the second ticket for the Marathon Gas Station, and the first for the other businesses cited. There is no jail time associated with the infraction.
