Undercover Beer Sting Results In Arrests At East Memphis and East Shelby County Businesses
Release Date: June 1, 2006
Sheriff’s Deputies and other officers with the Metro D.U.I. Squad visited businesses in East Memphis and East Shelby County last night. Clerks at 22% of the locations visited by officers sold alcohol to persons below the legal drinking age of 21.
On Wednesday evening, May 31, 2006, Deputies and other officers visited 32 locations, which included convenience stores, grocery stores and liquor stores in the Cordova, Arlington and Eads areas.
Clerks at 7 businesses were arrested and given 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.
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 10 undercover beer stings and has issued 124 citations to clerks for selling alcohol to underage persons.
The sting last night was part of an on-going effort funded by the Governor’s Highway Safety Office to stop the sale of alcohol to minors.
