Moorhead Server Charged in Underage Beer Sale<\/h2>\n

Moorhead<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A server faces a gross misdemeanor charge following an alcohol compliance check at Sunset Lanes.<\/p>\n

Anthony Roy Levang, 41, is charged with furnishing or selling alcohol to a person under age 21.<\/p>\n

The case stems from a May 6, 2026, compliance check in Moorhead.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors allege Levang completed a beer sale after reviewing identification showing the buyer was under 21.<\/p>\n

Underage Buyers Enter Sunset Lanes<\/h2>\n

Moorhead police were conducting compliance checks at licensed alcohol businesses, according to the criminal complaint.<\/p>\n

Two adult buyers under age 21 assisted officers during the checks.<\/p>\n

The buyers entered Sunset Lanes at 620 Highway 75 North in Moorhead.<\/p>\n

Each buyer ordered a Coors Light from Levang, according to prosecutors.<\/p>\n

The complaint says Levang asked both buyers to show identification.<\/p>\n

They provided their driver’s licenses before Levang served them beer.<\/p>\n

A misunderstanding then occurred because one buyer had not completed payment.<\/p>\n

The buyers returned to finish the transaction, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n

Identification Checked Again<\/h2>\n

Prosecutors say Levang requested identification from the buyers a second time.<\/p>\n

After reviewing one license, Levang reportedly took that buyer’s beer back.<\/p>\n

The complaint says he had confirmed that person was younger than 21.<\/p>\n

However, prosecutors allege Levang continued the transaction with the second buyer.<\/p>\n

That buyer was also younger than 21, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n

The buyer then paid for the beer using money supplied by police.<\/p>\n

No other criminal counts are listed in the complaint.<\/p>\n

Gross Misdemeanor Charge Filed<\/h2>\n

Levang is charged under Minnesota law governing alcohol sales to people under 21.<\/p>\n

The gross misdemeanor carries up to 364 days in jail.<\/p>\n

It also carries a possible fine of up to $3,000.<\/p>\n

The case is filed as Clay County court file 14-CR-26-2561.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 340A.503<\/a> regarding alcohol sales to people under 21.<\/p>\n

Additional court information is available through the Minnesota Judicial Branch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The charge is an allegation and has not been proven in court.<\/p>\n

Levang is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.<\/p>\n
