LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Louisville Metro Alcohol Beverage Control suspended the license of a liquor store in Newburg five days after agents conducted an "operation" there.
On Jan. 10, Liquor Palace 5 at Preston Highway and East Indiana Trail received a visit from Louisville Metro Police officers and agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Fire.
"On January 10, 2025, ATF Louisville Division, assisted by LMPD and other law enforcement agencies, conducted a law enforcement operation involving multiple court authorized warrants. We are not able to comment on active investigations."
The business' "OPEN" sign wasn't lit that day, and no one answered the phone inside.
