On 30 July 2026, Alaska State Troopers and the Alcohol & Marijuana Control Office (AMCO) conducted undercover compliance checks with people under 21 at bars and marijuana stores in Craig and Klawock on Prince of Wales Island. The agencies said every establishment visited was non-compliant, with alcohol or marijuana provided to underage buyers, and issued seven infractions, with warnings where appropriate.[1][2]
An August follow-up, citing an AMCO enforcement memo, reported that three establishments were cited on allegations of furnishing alcohol to someone under 21. The sources do not say how many of the seven infractions involved marijuana sales, so the total is not a cannabis-only count.[2]
The news report said the businesses were not named and could contest the allegations. The dispatch did not state how many establishments the agencies checked or report arrests, cannabis quantities or a seizure. The state said the operation was intended to enforce age restrictions and protect young people in the community.[1][2]
