Convenience Store Employees Receive Citations In Beer Sting
Release Date: June 20, 2005
Officers with the Metro D.U.I. Squad went undercover this past Friday evening and found clerks at 26 stores selling alcohol to persons under the legal drinking age of 21.
Deputies and other officers fanned out to visit convenience stores in the Highway 64/Germantown Road area and along Poplar Avenue from Kirby to Cleveland.
At three stores, clerks sold to minors on more than one occasion. One clerk was also arrested for not having the proper identification to sell alcohol.
In all, there were 29 violations. Those given misdemeanor citations will have to report to the Shelby County Jail to be booked and fingerprinted.
Also during the evening, D.U.I. officers arrested two people for impaired driving.
Officers say the undercover beer stings will be on-going.
