Board Denies Beer Permit After Questions Arise About Applicant

The DeKalb County Beer Board Thursday night voted to deny an application for an On Premise permit to sell beer at a local business due to results of a criminal background check on the applicant.
Pamela Jordan of Tease Cycle, LLC at 600 North Congress Boulevard had filed the application with the beer board but a criminal background check, which is required by the beer board of all applicants, revealed that she has outstanding warrants against her in Florida and that she gave a different date of her birth on the permit application than what is shown on her suspended drivers license.
Jordan did not attend the beer board meeting.
“The county clerk showed me what he had on the criminal history and it shows that she is wanted out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida for outstanding warrants,” Sheriff Patrick Ray told the Beer Board. “ We called down there and they will not extradite her from Tennessee. She has to be in the state of Florida but she is wanted,” he said.
“It looks like she also has a couple of aliases for dates of birth. I noticed on her application that she gave you (beer board) that her birth date is July 9, 1959. That is one of her dates of birth given on her NCIC (National Crime Information Center) report that the clerk obtained. On her drivers’ license she comes back suspended with a date of birth showing July 5, 1959. She has a bogus date of birth on one of them,”Sheriff Ray said.
“Is she or is she not a convicted felon? I don’t know if an outstanding warrant makes you a convicted felon,” said Board member Robert Rowe.
“I did not see any felonies on her but the false date of birth is on there. She gave you a different one than is on her driver’s license. I don’t know which one is right,” replied Sheriff Ray.
“We don’t know which one is false,” added County Attorney Hilton Conger.
“There’s a lot of false information. It sounds like some problems we probably don’t need,” said Board member Myron Rhody.
Rowe made a motion not to approve the license. The board voted to deny the application.
