TIPTON COUNTY, Tenn. — We have seen a rash of liquor store break-ins in Memphis, but the crime is crossing county lines, and the Tipton County sheriff says it will not be tolerated.
Judson Naifeh watched surveillance video of five thieves busting through the window at Whiskey Business on Highway 51 in Covington and stealing thousands of dollars worth of liquor.
“It was just matter of time. We knew it’s been coming out of Memphis,” Naifeh said. “We’ve had three break-ins in Tipton County recently that are Memphis-style break-ins. And of course, there are no consequences in Memphis for breaking in.”
But Tipton County Sheriff Shannon Beasley says this isn’t Memphis, writing in a Facebook post, “If you think we are going to let you run back to Memphis, or anywhere else, without any consequences…you’ve got us confused.”
“It’s no shade at Memphis. It’s all across the country, especially in our larger cities, where it seems the criminals are not punished, they’re treated like the victim instead of the criminal,” Naifeh said.
Sheriff Beasley said we see too many cases where criminals get away with a slap on the wrist in Memphis and that crime is now seeping into Tipton County. But he promises Tipton County won’t handle it the same way.
“One thing going to happen in Tipton County. If you come here and you bring those stupid crimes to us, we promise you you’re going to pay bail and you’re going to pay your time,” he said. “And if you want to come up here and commit those crimes and you’ve got the time to sit in jail, I promise you I’ve got the place to put you.”
That’s exactly what happened to three of the men responsible for the burglary at Whiskey Business. They remain in the Tipton County Jail with no bond.
Naifeh said if the store had to be burglarized, he’s glad it happened in Tipton County.
“We all know each other. We all want to have a nice safe place to live. And if they’re going to bring that stuff out of Memphis to here, our law enforcement officers and our DA’s and our judges, they’re going to pay for it. They’re going to pay for their crime here,” Naifeh said.
Two other men involved in the burglary are still on the run. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Covington Police Department at 901-476-5282.
Good.
Below is Tennessee law regarding self defense of property (yours, and in the next section it has the same statements regarding a third person’s property).
The tricky part of course is what is “reasonable” force. One can’t shoot someone in the back stealing your TV (at least not in Tennessee).
In Washington state some thief was stealing a TV, and the next door neighbor shot the thief in the back with a hunting arrow. It stopped him, but didn’t kill him. The neighbor with the bow and arrow was not arrested. Although some cop said if the thief had died he would have been arrested. (That didn’t make sense to me).
The thing to do is think of this stuff ahead of time. I’m not shooting a guy in the back that is stealing my TV as he is running in my yard back to the getaway car.
2021 Tennessee Code
Title 39 - Criminal Offenses
Chapter 11 - General Provisions
Part 6 - Justification Excluding Criminal Responsibility
§ 39-11-614. Protection of Property
Universal Citation: TN Code § 39-11-614 (2021)
A person in lawful possession of real or personal property is justified in threatening or using force against another, when and to the degree it is reasonably believed the force is immediately necessary to prevent or terminate the other’s trespass on the land or unlawful interference with the property.
A person who has been unlawfully dispossessed of real or personal property is justified in threatening or using force against the other, when and to the degree it is reasonably believed the force is immediately necessary to reenter the land or recover the property, if the person threatens or uses the force immediately or in fresh pursuit after the dispossession:
The person reasonably believes the other had no claim of right when the other dispossessed the person; and
The other accomplished the dispossession by threatening or using force against the person.
Unless a person is justified in using deadly force as otherwise provided by law, a person is not justified in using deadly force to prevent or terminate the other’s trespass on real estate or unlawful interference with personal property.
*ping*
Note the Naifeh name. Kinda rich a Naifeh complaining about crime.
of course it’s coming......cars, busses, did that for us.
Sounds like they ‘tried that in a small town’.
EC
Which state is it? Louisiana? It allows lethal force for protection against property theft? Kudos.
Did you even glance at the post? TIPTON COUNTY, Tenn. Right at the start.
Idiot. Don't respond to me. You're on my ignore list and I don't waste time with fools.
I thought the same... But I’ll wager that any Naifeh in West Tennessee stands a good chance of coming out smelling like a rose in any kind of action against perps...
(for those of you from elsewhere, Jimmy Naifeh was the LONG time Democrat Speaker of the Tennessee General Assembly. Nearly impossible to beat in an election. Sort of a Nancy Pelosi type...)
RELATED TO BOSS HOGG?
I moved out of Memphis to get away from Dems, taxes, and crime. And a D nafieh will always be a crook. Don’t use their store either. Atoka is only 7 K pop and we’ve had more violent crime in the past 2 years, than in the last 10 yrs.
I don’t even like shopping the E’FN overpriced, poor-quality food at Krogers. Found a bug in the Romas. They are so poorly staffed that there is no one around to get stuff down from the top shelf. Don’t stock till 11 or after. I get the marked salads for my 9 pullets. The Garden was doing great till the weather went nuts. It was too hot, with no rain, or too much rain, no way to dust with 7 for bugs.

Tom Leatherwood and Paul Rose are definitely No’s
Child Trafficking is going to be addressed, according to Bobbie Patray of TN Eagle Forum.
You need to include in your contract that over 200+ meds both script and OTC CAUSE SUICIDAL THOUGHTS. The heavily advertised Ozempic weight loss is on the list as are common OTC pain meds, Cypro antibiotic. as well as Neurological side effects. Lunesta is not on the list but Causes bad Road Rage. Pick common ones that are being advertised, or in use for kids, or seniors.
PTSD, avoid the topic. And it’s not just Military, it can be an abused child. You don’t want your child in a shrink’s hands.
200+ meds have suicide listed on them, even OTC PAIN MEDS. Most doctors and certainly legislators are ignorant of these facts, just as they the transitioning hormones, estrogen, and testosterone.
https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2018/6/14/17458726/depression-drugs-suicide-side-effect, the new Ozempic was just put on the Suicide list. And that like transitioning hormones is emotionally dangerous. You can add LUNESTA to the list, it causes extreme anger.
Doctors warn some popular weight-loss drugs may raise the risk of complications under anesthesia
Suicide, and anesthesia risks” Still think Pharma is looking out for you?
