HARTINGTON — Two Hartington teenagers were fined in county court when they pleaded guilty to illegal possession of beer.

Ronald Gartner, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ted Gartner, was fined $25 plus $4 costs and Dennis Noecker, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Noecker, was fined $30 plus $4 costs.

The youths were arrested Sunday on a road south of Hartington by Lawrence Peterson, state liquor inspector, and Sheriff Ralph Clements. They had in their possession a full can and two opened cans of beer from a six-pack.

Gartner told the officers he bought the six-pack in the Majestic at Yankton. Peterson and Clements contacted Don Bierle, states attorney in Yankton. Bierle called John Kazos, owner of the Majestic, and warned if this happened again charges would be brought against him.
