Alcohol retailers can refuse to accept tribal and military identification cards, according to the state's attorney in Davison County, South Dakota.
A police officer in Mitchell told retailers they don't have to accept IDs from the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe or the U.S. military. State's attorney Pat Smith sent a letter that said retailers must "act as a reasonable and prudent person" in deciding whether to accept such IDs.
Less than two percent of the county population is Native American, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
