Magdal provided for the compliance checks who was wearing an g
g
audio transmission device. Accompanyin~ into the on-sale establishments was Officer Frederick who at each 2
occasion ordered a soft drink, while_ attempted to purchase a beer. g
_ and Frederick went into The Big 10, 1106 Mainstreet, and sat at the bar. In my squad car, I could hear their
transaction with the bartender, who I later identified as STEPHEN MICHAEL VOLD (DOB 12-20-77)._
ordered a tap beer and was served it. At no time did VOLD ask for identification that would show" age.
VOLD did speak with him, as the initial beer ~ selected was unavailable, and offered a different beer, which
was served to him. I walked into the bar and approached VOLD. _ pointed to VOLD as the person who had
sold to him while he was working on the cash register. I advised VOLD that he had served a person less than 21
years of age during the department's compliance checks, and ob1ained his personal infonnation_ I took the beer that
had been served_ and placed a sample of it in a liquid evidence container, which was marked and sealed, The
beer sample was later placed into evidence_ I advised VOLD that a report about the matter would be generated and
.uld be contacted by the City Attorney regarding any charges.
Please forward a copy of this report to the City Attorney for charging.

before the City Council if not in agreement with the presumptive penalty.
The Police Chief also has the right to request a hearing before the Council
if he/she believes there exists substantial reason making it appropriate to

agree on the presumptive penalty, these will be reported to the City Council
in a staff report. (Amended by Ord 2005-959)
