Employees at three DeKalb bars were cited during a series of alcohol compliance checks Thursday night.

The four total employees from Detox, 1000 W. Lincoln Highway, Eduardo’s, 214 E. Lincoln Highway and O’Leary’s, 260 E. Lincoln Highway, were cited during the checks from the Illinois State Liquor Commission, according to DeKalb Police reports.

About 10 p.m., agents under 21 years old working with police, using their own IDs, attempted to enter numerous establishments during the night, according to the reports. The agents then went to the bar and ordered alcohol after entering.

At Detox, the agent was carded by the bouncer, Dustin A. Leonhardt, 24, of DeKalb, before being allowed to enter. Leonhardt was cited for allowing a minor to enter and remain in the bar. The bartender, Antrinius S. Andrews, 23, of DeKalb, was also cited for selling alcohol to a minor.

Club Detox owner Ransey Vazquez said the bouncer that checked the agent’s ID was not the guard that normally checks at the door, and Leonhardt was fired after the citation. Vazquez was not aware a bartender had been cited, but said ID checking systems which had been ordered before the check are going to be installed this week, which should help prevent the problem in the future.

“We feel very confident this won’t happen again in the future with the system in place,” he said. “We have no intention of letting minors in the club.”

At Eduardo’s, two agents younger than 21 years old entered the bar and both ordered alcohol, and were not carded by the bartender, Ian T. Wagner, 23, of DeKalb, before serving them. Wagner was cited for selling alcohol to a minor.

No one at Eduardo’s was available for comment Sunday afternoon.

At O’Learys, the two agents who were carded by the bartender, Jeffrey M. Durante, 25, of DeKalb, were served alcohol. Durante was cited for selling alcohol to a minor.

O’Learys’ Beverage Manager Adam Bohr said the bartender who served the agents was fired, and the bar held a class the next day for employees about checking IDs.

“We’re really sorry that it happened,” Bohr said. “It was an oversight on our part.”
