Wilkes-Barre A judge has overtuned a state Liquor Control Board ruling that
fined Desi’s Pizza in West Pittston $1,000 for serving alcohol to a minor. The
bar/restaurant on Luzerne Avenue was cited in April 1998 with selling two
six-packs of beer to an 18-year old woman. The bar appealed the citation,
arguing it should not have been cited because the woman previously supplied a
fake identification card listing her age as 22, according to court record.
Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas Judge Michael Conahan held a hearing in
December. In a ruling issued Tuesday, he reversed the board’s decision. The
one-page ruling does not cite Conahan’s reasons for his decision.
