In a recent undercover initiative, eight establishments in Hohenwald have been found in violation of laws prohibiting the sale of alcohol and vaping products to minors. This operation involved a total of 17 businesses, and it was discovered that eight clerks engaged in selling these restricted items to underage individuals.
The impetus for this operation stemmed from growing community apprehension about the accessibility of illegal substances to young people. In response to these concerns, local law enforcement took action to ensure compliance with regulations aimed at protecting minors.
Police Chief Kevin Carroll has expressed a commitment to the community, stating that efforts to address and prevent the sale of such products to underage customers will remain a priority. The department aims to enhance public safety and uphold the law in this regard.
