Sheriff's Office targets underage alcohol sales in spring operation
Sheriff Harbaugh said the spring operation coincided with graduations and proms to crack down on underage drinking. Area businesses were visited at least twice by undercover staff including an underage volunteer. Counties like Carroll, Talbot, Somerset and Wicomico handle similar cases through the liquor commission.
