Indiana liquor license renewal denied after liquor law violations
The Indiana County court upheld the Liquor Control Board’s refusal to renew Sam L. Trimarchi’s Union Restaurant license at 632 Philadelphia Street, Indiana. Testimony by Liquor Control Board agents and a police officer showed violations and sale to intoxicated persons, while local officers offered largely negative findings.
