Dekum, after store employees were allegedly caught selling drugs on the premises. Officials said the immediate sus pension was issued last W ednes day because the business is con sidered a serious danger to public health and safety. The store’s licensees, Seung K. Kim and Hack H. Kim were ordered to stop selling packaged beer and wine at the facility until further notice. “The premises has become a haven for illegal drug activity,” the OLCC suspension order to the store operators said. “The multiple pur- chases/deliveries of illegal drugs on your licensed premises, com bined with the illegal drugs found on the licensed premises are evi dence of the criminal enterprise operating from your store.” The OLCC charged that unlaw ful activity occurred at least four times between August and Octo ber when two employees sold mari juana at the store to police under cover personnel.
