Not all police news is bad

These businesses didn't get printed earlier in the week with the establishments and employees who were cited for underage alcohol sales, but I thought it would be nice to put them out there.

No, they're not as newsworthy. Why? Because people and businesses everywhere don't get in trouble on a daily basis. Doing what you're supposed to isn't that big of a deal. Maybe doing what you're supposed to do really well or better than everyone else like you is worth a note, though.

And, we usually don't get a list of people who don't get in trouble. This time we did, and here you go. Maybe these are places you frequent.
