Beer permit denial is upheld by court

A Chancery Court judge on Tuesday denied a man’s appeal of a Chattanooga Beer Board ruling that turned down his permit for a new business.

The beer board had rejected club owner Timothy W. Sawyer’s permit request for Wink Bar and Grill at 6002 Lee Highway on Nov. 1.

In December, attorney Walter Williams, representing Mr. Sawyer, accused police officers of making false statements to the board.

Club Coffee at 2905 Rossville Blvd., an establishment previously owned by Mr. Sawyer, closed in April 2007 after officers raided it and made several arrests.
