At Boatman’s Mini Mart the underage informant was originally denied the sale of alcohol by the cashier. While attempting to leave the business the informant was approached by suspect Tanya Anita Hall (35 years old, Lexington Park MD). Suspect Hall offered to purchase the alcohol for the informant. The Informant then gave Hall a disclosed amount of money and Hall entered the establishment. Hall then purchased an alcoholic beverage for the informant.
