Undercover Beer Sting Results In Arrests At Businesses Along Crump and Lamar
Release Date: June 19, 2006
Sheriff’s Deputies and other officers with the Metro D.U.I. Squad visited businesses on Crump, Lamar, and other nearby streets this past Friday night.
Clerks at 65% of the locations visited by officers sold alcohol to persons below the legal drinking age of 21.
On Friday evening, June 16, 2006, Deputies and other officers visited 23 locations, which included convenience stores, grocery stores and liquor stores.
Fifteen (15) clerks sold to underage persons. Fourteen (14) were issued misdemeanor citations for selling beer to minors. The clerks will have to report to the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office Jail Annex to be booked and fingerprinted at the Records and Identification Division.
One other clerk was physically arrested for not having the proper identification to sell beer.
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 11 undercover beer stings and has either arrested or issued misdemeanor citations to 139 clerks for selling alcohol to underage persons.
The sting last Friday night was part of an on-going effort funded by the Governor’s Highway Safety Office to stop the sale of alcohol to minors.
