Dispatching officers to investigate the suspected underage violation, authorities arrived only to discover a teenager named Seth Parker running an entirely innocent beverage stand with zero alcohol involved.
The neighborhood commotion turned out to be a clever marketing trick when officers inspected the sign and noticed the word “ROOT” written in tiny letters right above “BEER,” revealing a harmless joke selling classic nonalcoholic root beer.
Delighted by his entrepreneurial humor rather than issuing a citation, the Brigham City Police Department posted about the amusing incident on Facebook, sending Seth’s stand viral and bringing in curious crowds that helped him completely sell out of his stock.
