White Marsh Double T Fined For Liquor License Violation

TOWSON, MD — The Double T Diner in White Marsh was fined $250 on Monday for serving alcohol to an underage patron.

"This was an unfortunate situation that occurred," attorney Arnold Jablon said on behalf of Double. "It was a mistake."

Two police officers came to eat at the restaurant in the 10700 block of Pulaski Highway and were accompanied by a cadet, Jablon told the Baltimore County Liquor Board in Towson.

The officers were longtime customers, Jablon said. A cadet who joined them ordered a glass of wine and was served, he said.

"Unfortunately, she was not asked for her ID," Jablon said. "Staff knows that they need to check ID," he added, noting: "The waitress has been warned."

According to the restaurant's attorney, this was a first for the Double T White Marsh.

"This happens to be the very first offense this diner has ever had in 27 years it's held the [liquor] license," Jablon said. "It has never had an issue before."

Baltimore County Liquor Board Chair Susan Green said there appeared to be a reported violation in 1996, but it was dismissed.

"We're going to treat this as a first offense," Green said. Finding there was a violation, the board fined Double T White Marsh $250 for serving a minor.
