For the third time in as many months, the Rome Alcohol Control Commission will conduct a license hearing for a business following a report of people drinking inside the store.
Assistant Rome Police Chief Rodney Bailey told the ACC during their March meeting that officers were dispatched to the North Broad Food Mart at 1416 North Broad Street to a complaint of people drinking and “Kids hanging out.”
Police saw two open beer cans in the gaming machine room.
The officer informed the store owner that drinking was not allowed inside the store.
Police were not sure if the alcohol was bought inside the store or was brought in by a customer.
No citation was issued.
Mi Tienda on Shorter Avenue and Garden Lakes Food and Beverage on Redmond Circle both received a 60-day suspension and a $2,000 fine for similar violations.
Monday’s ACC meeting begins at 5 p.m. at Rome City Hall.
