Owners of a Joplin sports bar and grill speak out about losing their liquor license. J-Town recently lost their liquor license for three days after they were caught selling alcohol to a minor. Workers at the sports bar say 40% of their profits come from alcohol sales. They say they plan to prevent future problems by implementing their own sting operations and by have undercover patrons periodically check their servers.

Officials from the Joplin Police Department did checks on 111 local businesses. 39 of them failed.
