Kevin Stone, from Leigh Local Convenience Ltd, on Railway Road in Leigh, was convicted in his absence of selling three cans of Strongbow Dark Fruit, a bottle of Cherry Sours, three bottles of Kopparberg cider, a 20cl bottle of Glen's vodka and two bottles of WKD to a minor.
A fine, court costs and a victim services surcharge mean he will have to fork out a total of £1,241.

His guilty plea was taken into consideration but, nonetheless, he still has £1,146 to pay to the court, victim services and in the form of a fine.
