More than half of Reno businesses checked sold alcohol to minors

Police said more than half of the Reno businesses they checked in a weekend sting operation aren't complying with underage drinking laws.

Reno police and officers from the University of Nevada, Reno said they made alcohol compliance checks Saturday in downtown Reno. Underage decoys were sent into bars and casinos to try buying alcohol.

Eighteen of the 32 businesses checked failed the test.

The checks were funded through an Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws grant.
