Notes of Decisions Employment of Criminal
It was reasonable to infer that a licensee who left her son in charge of a liquor establishment while she was not present was in violation of the Liquor Code because she was aware of his prior criminal convictions and permitting the control of a liquor establishment by a known criminal when there were other individuals present who might have been left in charge instead supports the revocation of the licensee’s permit to serve alcoholic beverages.
