An investigation by East Precinct Crime Suppression Unit detectives into the sale of illegal drug paraphernalia at several Dickerson Pike markets has resulted in the revocation of three beer permits by the Metropolitan Beer Board and the suspension of two others.
The investigation began in February 2007 in response to neighborhood and business quality of life and safety issues.
In March, a clerk at the Last Chance Market at 839 Dickerson Pike sold an undercover detective a glass pipe from behind the counter. The pipes were sold in packages containing a steel wool filter or “Chore Boy”, a glass pipe, and a lighter for $3.75.
Community representatives from area businesses and neighborhood associations filed formal complaints against the markets to the Metropolitan Beer Board. In a hearing Wednesday, the Beer Board voted to revoke the beerpermits from the following stores:
Beer permits for the Citgo at 3056 Dickerson Pike and the Phillips 66 at 3100 Dickerson Pike were suspended for 30 days. These stores were also placed on 180 days probation.
