HAUSER, Ore.: What would you call a babe in a tank top? David Cardwell calls it entrapment. He's protesting a more than $1,300 fine after his small Oregon store sold beer to a minor.
Cardwell says his clerk was distracted by the 20-year-old woman's scanty attire. But officials of the Oregon Liquor Control Commission say their decoy did everything by the numbers.
Enforcement authorities say the clerk should have been looking at young woman's driver's license instead of what she was wearing.
Cardwell says he'll close his Coos County store for a week instead of paying the fine.
