CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – A Clarksville woman was arrested for allegedly attempting to shoplift from a local liquor store.
According to a news release, police were called to Mulligan’s on Wilma Rudolph Blvd. Sept. 18 for a shoplifting call.
The caller said the suspect, Ina Tucker, was seen concealing two bottles of tequila in a bag and then attempted to leave the store with the merchandise.
