Shreveport Police announce strict enforcement of drinking on premises of convenience stores and package liquor stores

Chief Ben Raymond announced today that police will begin strictly enforcing gatherings of people on convenience store and package liquor property.

Shreveport Police have received numerous complaints of businesses allowing patrons to gather at these types of establishments and consume alcohol on the store property. The establishment will be subject to citation pursuant to Louisiana Revised Statute 14:329.7 and could have their license to sell liquor to be revoked should they not cooperate.

This is part of our ongoing fight against Covid-19 and our commitment to “flatten the curve” so that we can all return to our normal way of life.
