The Chattanooga Beer and Wrecker Board cleared up an ongoing dispute about whether a Lee Highway bar could serve beer after 11 p.m. — even as the permit holder left the meeting in handcuffs.
Chattanooga police arrested Misti Dawn Powell in the lobby outside the City Council room Thursday on a warrant for theft under $500.
“This is becoming a regular occurrence,” Sgt. Mark Haskins said of the arrest.
At the board’s Oct. 21 meeting, beer permit applicant Traporsha Ware was arrested by Red Bank police on a previous warrant for charges of possession of cocaine for resale, marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Powell was at the meeting with her attorney, Doug Cox, to resolve previous problems with the time of beer sales at the Skyzoo bar on Lee Highway.
