MILFORD - The State Department of Consumer Protection has revoked the liquor license of a Boston Post Road package store for violating state law by repeatedly selling alcohol to minors, the agency said.
Underage drinkers were coming out of Mike's Package Store at 748 Boston Post Road, Milford, after having purchased alcohol on at least two occasions in late 2018 and early 2019, according to state liquor control agents conducting surveillance on the establishment with Milford police.
Liquor control authorities were alerted to the store by parents, according to a five-page document issued on April 16 after the agency issued a decision to revoke the establishment's liquor license.
Liquor control agents with Milford police questioned the underage drinkers after they left the store on Nov. 24 and Jan. 11 and found that all had said they were either not asked to produce identification when making the purchase or that they had used a "fake ID" to make a purchase.
Liquor Control agent Michael Kulas indicated during January's operation that he had a clear view of the door and could see minors "entering and exiting."
The store's permittee Miquel Antonio Cerda was not cooperative with the investigation, said Kulas who also noted that no prices were posted for beer inside a cooler, a violation of state regulations and the liquor permit for the store had not been recorded with the town.
Cerda also had no age statement forms, which suspected underage minors seeking to buy liquor are required to fill out at the time of purchase.
Liquor Control agent Lisa Laflamme testified during an administrative hearing on March 21 that she also observed minors purchasing alcohol during the Nov. 24 operation.
