But if the statute says Business Offense, how can the police charge them anything? Shouldn't that come from another type of agency that can bring down fines upon the gas station?

In Illinois, local police can enforce business offenses by issuing fines or citations when a law is violated. They may work alongside regulatory agencies for enforcement, but they can act independently within their jurisdiction to address violations.
