More than a handful of restaurants and businesses in Marietta were busted selling booze to minors, police said.

The Marietta Police Department conducted an “alcohol compliance check” on March 14.

Police said the buyers didn’t use fake IDs or misrepresent themselves in any way — the business owners simply failed to check IDs.

The following Marietta businesses were cited selling to minors:

Ruby Tuesday, located at 2435 Delk Road
