CITY OF HOPKINS
1010 FIRST STREET SOUTH HOPKINS, MINNESOTA 55343 612/935-8474
DATE: March 1, 1982
On 12- 12 -81, Mr. Arhando Dicicco, an employee of Knutson's Liquors
was charged with liquor sales to a juvenile. On the previous evening,
the arresting officer, Kevin Sorlie, had warned this employee and the
manager of the store for selling to another minor. The officer is a
rookie and was unaware of the policy not to warn for violations of
this nature.
Regardless, a warning was given and some 24 hours later another violation
was committed.
The Police Department recommends that the City Council suspend the liquor
license for Knutson's Liquors for a short period of time (one to three days).
On February 17, 1982, Mr. Dicicco pled guilty to the charge and was fined
$99.00 (inc. $9.00 surcharge). As far as the Hopkins Police Dep t. is
concerned, the case is closed.
