Clerks Arrested in East Memphis, Bartlett and East Shelby County Beer Sting

Release Date: December 1, 2006

Sheriff’s Deputies and other officers with the Metro D.U.I. Squad visited businesses along Germantown Parkway, Highway 64, Houston Levee and other nearby streets in East Memphis, Bartlett and East Shelby County last evening.

Deputies and other officers visited 35 businesses, which included convenience stores, grocery stores and liquor stores. Of the 35 visits, 15% led to arrests.

Ten (10) clerks were cited for selling beer to persons below the legal drinking age of 21. The clerks were issued Misdemeanor Citations and will have to report to the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office Jail Annex to be booked and fingerprinted at the Records and Identification Division.

Shelby County Sheriff’s Deputies and other officers from the Memphis Police Department and Germantown Police Department comprise the Metro D.U.I. Squad.

So far this year, the squad has conducted 25 undercover beer stings and 325 clerks have been issued citations or physically arrested for selling alcohol to underage persons.

Last evening’s sting was part of an on-going effort funded by the Governor’s Highway Safety Office to stop the sale of alcohol to minors.
