11 year-old Memphian Arrested 9 Times In Two Months

An 11 year old Memphian has been arrested 9 times in the past two months for charges including carjacking, theft, burglary and robbery. Memphis Police Chief CJ Davis spoke to the city council on Wednesday, regarding how the police department must be able to work with the Shelby County Juvenile Court to tackle juvenile crime. Davis also said that more than 70 percent of minors caught stealing vehicles in Memphis – are repeat offenders. Davis is requesting that the juvenile courts give MPD’s Real-Time Crime Center access to ankle monitors, which they do not have right now.
