A recent sting operation by police in which a 17-year-old visited 12 stores to buy cigarettes in New Lenox resulted in tickets and $25 fines for clerks at eight businesses.
Clerks at four stores refused to sell the cigarettes, one asked for identification but sold the 17-year-old cigarettes without it, and clerks at seven stores sold the cigarettes, in violation of a 1995 village ordinance banning tobacco sales to minors.
In other action, trustees rejected as too vague a proposal forbidding a resident to “harbor or keep any animal which disturbs the peace by loud noises at any time of the day or night.”
