Clerks Cited In South-East Memphis Area Beer Sting

Release Date: April 27, 2007

The Metro D.U.I. Squad conducted an undercover “beer sting” last night in South-East Memphis.  Shelby County Sheriff’s Deputies and other officers from the Germantown Police Department comprise the Metro D.U.I. Squad. 

Officers noted violations at 63% of the 32 businesses visited.  The sting targeted convenience stores, service station marts and liquor stores along Mount Moriah, Winchester, Knight Arnold, Mendenhall, Shelby Drive and other nearby streets in the area.

Officers witnessed 20 clerks sell beer to people under the legal alcohol drinking age of 21.  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.

2007 Statistics:

  • Beer Stings Conducted: 6
  • Total Arrests: 77

Last night’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.
