Re: Underage drinking and bad checks at the bar
The fact that this underage miscreant was never
carded has absolutely nothing to do with his apparent criminal intent to victimize the bar
by way of writing bad checks for goods/services which he gladly received, but, apparently, had no intention of paying for.
In other words, he's as responsible for these alleged criminal acts, as any other human would be who had commited similar acts and was 21+ at the time.
