Crystal Lake Conducts Alcohol Compliance Checks
Find out which local businesses were cited during recent compliance checks.
CRYSTAL LAKE, IL - From Crystal Lake Police Department: The Crystal Lake Police Department completed another round of Alcohol Compliance Checks. During the month of April, we examined 83 separate locations licensed to sell alcoholic beverages in Crystal Lake, including businesses that sell packaged alcoholic beverages and those that serve such beverages for on-site consumption. In all of the 83 businesses examined, persons under the age of 21, under the guidance and supervision of Crystal Lake Detectives, entered and attempted to purchase alcoholic beverages. With the exception of two (2) businesses, the clerks or business employees appropriately checked the purchaser’s identification, recognized them as being underage, and did not complete the sale.
The following businesses illegally sold alcohol to a minor:
- Texas Roadhouse – 835 Cog Circle
- Circle K – 280 N. Rt. 31
Crystal Lake officers cited the clerks/employees who completed the sale to a minor. An Adjudication Hearing on this matter is scheduled for 8:30 am on May 10, 2019, at the Crystal Lake Municipal Center, 100 West Woodstock Street.

Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death among adolescent Americans and teenage alcohol consumption is a leading contributing factor. The Crystal Lake Police Department strives to develop partnerships with local merchants to help them achieve the goal of zero alcohol sales to minors. The Crystal Lake Police Department conducts these Alcohol Countermeasure Enforcement checks randomly throughout the year and we will continue to do so in the future.
