COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Two notable eateries at The Battery Atlanta sold alcohol to minors during a recent sting, Cobb County police announced Wednesday.

Antico Pizza and El Super Pan were caught selling the booze Monday, according to police.

Authorities said they tested 10 businesses at The Battery, the 1.5-million-square-foot mixed-use entertainment behemoth attached to SunTrust Park.

Department spokeswoman Officer Sarah O'Hara told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the servers will be cited and will have to go to criminal court for the citation.
