TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP) - A district court judge is prohibiting the state from issuing liquor licenses in five cities in central and south-central Idaho until a lawsuit contesting waiting lists for the licenses is resolved.
The Times-News reports that Fifth District Court Judge G. Richard Bevan earlier this month ordered Idaho State Police's Bureau of Alcohol Beverage Control not to issue any alcohol beverage licenses in Twin Falls, Sun Valley, Ketchum, Hailey and Bellevue.
Daniel Fuchs, the manager of Dick's Pharmacy in Twin Falls, contends in his lawsuit filed earlier this year that he was denied due process when the Bureau of Alcohol Beverage Control enforced a 2-year-old rule barring people from holding more than one spot on the waiting lists for liquor licenses.
