Conway police say they sent underage informants into restaurants selling alcohol in the city and nine places were cited for serving despite lack of proper ID. Fines can range from $200 to $500 for the servers, but the violations also go to the state ABC Board which can level penalties on the permit holder, including suspension or cancellation of the permit.

The police said 14 establishments passed the compliance checks.

Dry Conway certainly has a lot of restaurants — sorry, private clubs — selling alcohol.So many that the 23 didn’t cover all permit holders.
