Earlier this month, agents with the Mississippi Alcoholic Beverages Control� (ABC) Bureau of Enforcement worked a “Cops In Shops” detail in cooperation with the Lyric in Oxford.

During the operation, twenty-one citations were issued.� Eight citations were issued for possession of fake drivers licenses, seven were issued for a minor in possession of beer, two citations were issued for a minor in possession of alcoholic beverages, two citations were issued for furnishing a beer to a minor, one public intoxication citation was issued, and one citation was issued for disorderly conduct.� Officials say one person was jailed as a result of the operation.

According to the ABC, the “Cops in Shops” program occurs when an ABC permitted business requests agents to assist with curtailing the use of fake ID�s and underage drinking at the permitted location. Agents working in a plainclothes capacity act as employees of the business to check ID�s and observe other violations by patrons.
