The Grub and Pub Bar in Morrison County is facing civil penalties after an undercover, underaged officer was allegedly served alcohol at the business and helped out of the building by the owner to escape citation when police arrived. According to County Attorney Brian Middendorf the county‘s options for responding to the incident include imposing a civil penalty of up to $2,000 for each violation, suspending the liquor license for up to 60 days and/or attempting to revoke the license entirely. In the latter two cases, the license holder has a right to a hearing to contest the allegation, in which case the cost to hire an administrative law judge to oversee the hearing is estimated at $1,000-$2,000. The county board could also deny the 2:00am closing time that is up for renewal on September 27th as a penalty. The county attorney’s office is still reviewing whether criminal charges will be filed against the bar owner, but said the current focus is on civil penalties.
