The Wilkes-Barre enforcement office of the state liquor control board cited two Carbon County businesses for violating the state liquor code.

Blue Mountain Pub Inc., 3790 Forest Inn Road, Lower Towamensing Township, was cited on Jan. 18 for sold, furnished and/or gave or permitted such sale, furnishing or giving of alcoholic beverages to a visibly intoxicated patron.

Griff’s Ale Haus & Grille, 328 S. Second St., Lehighton, was cited on Jan. 25 for sold, furnished and/or gave or permitted such sale, furnishing or giving of alcoholic beverages to a minor.

These charges will be brought before an administrative law judge who has the authority to impose penalties ranging from $50 to $1,000 for minor offenses and up to $5,000 for more serious offenses. In addition, the judge can also impose a license suspension or revocation of the license based on the severity of the charge brought.
