Clerks Cited In Weekend Beer Sting
Release Date: August 8, 2005
Officers with the Metro D.U.I. Squad went undercover this past Saturday evening (August 6) and found clerks at 15 Memphis businesses selling alcohol to underage customers.
Deputies and other officers visited 33 convenience stores, grocery stores, drug stores and liquor stores along Lamar Avenue, Crump Avenue and the Bellevue area. There were violations noted at almost half of the stores visited by officers.
Thirteen (13) clerks who sold beer to customers below 21 years of age were given misdemeanor citations and will have to report to the Shelby County Jail to be booked and fingerprinted.
One other adult clerk was arrested for refusing to accept a misdemeanor citation. Also during the sting, one clerk, under the age of 21, received a juvenile summons for selling beer.
