CARSON CITY -- The state intends to use part of a $360,000 federal grant to target bars and and other liquor sellers that are suspected of providing alcohol to those under 21.

Gov. Kenny Guinn said Wednesday the Justice Department has allocated the money to the state Division of Child and Family Services to keep children alcohol free.

The money will be used also for advertising programs and other projects to prevent underage drinking.
