One person was arrested after a probe into the sale of alcoholic beverages to minors at The Rock Store.

“Deputies have received numerous complaints of minors purchasing alcohol at this location,” said Pike sheriff Jimmy Thomas.

Amyn Karim, 24, was booked Aug. 18. for selling alcoholic beverages to minors. He is out of jail on a $5,000 bond.

ok...why does the store continue to have an alcohol liscense. Shouldn't these be taken away.
#2 citizen on 08/25/09 at 03:54 PM
send him back to his country and never to return since he cannot abide by our laws

Well come Jan 1, 2010 a new law in Ga will take effect on these people from other countries, they must prove they are here legally in THE USA to RUN a BUSINESS IN GA.. I hope this paper will do a BIG WRITE-UP on the NEW LAW! I seen this on channel 2 WSB.. Some of the counties are already enforcing the law now, I wish Pike would... This is the best thing GA has done in a while now..

Back in the 80's my father worked in a local "7-11" He was accused of the same thing..selling to minors. The boy and his friends were caught and they said the old man at the store sold them the beer...
My dad said he did not do it...The store camera caught the kid stealing the beer..dad was cleared...And life goes on...

why is he out on a measley $5,000 bail if this is his third offense?

I hope that they actually had proof that he sold to minors. Anyone can say that they purchased it somewhere. I really can't believe that he would not be checking ID after the first arrest. And for those of you with your nasty comments...He really has a great personality. It is not his fault that our government makes it easier for people from other counties to open businesses than Americans.

I too think he has a good personality. He always greets me and has something to say. It would be sad to see this store close again.

He might be a nice person, but the law has been broken. What if he sold to your underage child? Would you still think the same about him.

Allegedly broken the law....
If he sold to my child ,first place I would start would be an A@# whoopen for my child but hold on cant do that to an 18 to 20 year old. hmmm
Arrest the child yeh thats better
and better yet why not the parent too for raising a kid that would try such a thing
The law is the law right.
If its not the law maybe we can get one passed
I think I'll right my state Rep. and Senator
Im sure we can get more laws passed to generate more money.
Reminds me of the one where a 15 year old skips school nowdays and they lock the parent up for 5 days absent.
If it wasnt for the federal government witholding state Hwy. Funds the law would have never been changed from 18.
Moving very quickly toward a completly Facist Government
When was the last time our congress enacted a law that gave a right to do something
Believe me if it's in Pike County all it takes is a whisper to get someone locked up with or without an investigation

Anonymous, It's true in Pike County they do lock up people with out cause. I've been there.

The reason I was locked up was to get me out of the way so evidence could be destroyed.

I had took picture's of something happening as it happened.

That and a pile of other evidence was gone when I got back.

Thank God they didn't find it all.
#6.1 Pike County Punster on 08/28/09 at 08:49 PM
DONNA!!!!...Get off it...the key words to remember...DELUSIONAL DISORDER!! You were locked up because you needed to be locked up! You put out these "mysterious" sounding postings about "evidence" and pictures of "happenings" as it "happened". GOD had nothing to do with the "evidence" that "they" didn't find after a "pile of evidence was gone" when you got back. You are not a fiction writer researching a book about the improper actions of Pike County Law Enforcement. IF you and the many "anonymous" posters whining about the law enforcement abilities in Pike County don't approve, all of you can pack up and MOVE to Upson, Spalding, Lamar or any other state of your choosing. I am sure if you had any "evidence" in your possession, Mr. Geiger would certainly take a look at it and would not shirk away from a good story.

PUT UP or SHUT UP! Give it a break!

If you have evidence of something as it happened then show it, print it or televise it.

If not then SHUT THE H3LL UP.

I am sick and tired of your BS posts wasting space on blogs.

Again PUT UP OR SHUT UP.

It happens more than people would think
In this County a handshake and a smile gives this sherrif a pass to do whatever he wants all in the name of the law, whether its the law or not.I beieve their thought is let them prove they didnt do it.
More like gestapo than a Ga police officer
By reading these pages most people are anxious to assume guilt and thats exactly what they like

My child would be in serious TROUBLE for going in there and trying to purchase the beer! I don't think people should be set up and I don't think that someone should be arrested for complaints. The kids could have lied. I think he is a hard working individual, who by the way works seven days a week. He is not sitting at home collecting a check from the government or collecting food stamps. I suggested to him that he needs to learn these words and repeat them often....Let me see your ID.

Pike County Punster,

What are you going to do with the witnesses and legal documents that say I'm telling the truth. That's not me making something up! I don't have to say a word and it stands on it's own.

Then there's the fact 4 day's after I reported what I knew of at the time, My Husband (Ex now, Thank God) Stood in front of me and repeated in proper order everything I'd reported. Telling me at the time they didn't care who all he had killed. He said he had the Sheriff and the Judge right here, (patting his back pocket).

Now let's review:

He wouldn't marry me till my mother died, then I had to go get a pile of life insurance! That's when all heck broke loose!

Even in the divorce papers he tried to make it look like we were married before my Mother died. Wrong!

I heard they have me on tape threatening my Husband's life, and I was going to give the guy I hired some of the life insurance money.

The funny part is my husband didn't have life insurance. But he thought I had at least 100,000.00 worth on me!

If you use your brain and follow the money he stood to gain my farm 1/4 mile out side the city limit, Double indemnity on the life insurance, If I had a accident. Plus 3 rental house's/property.

I stood to gain 1 child's part of 3 acres & a single wide trailer home. And 2 rental trailers in a trailer park. Wow!

Donna, for the final time. Take your "proof" to the FBI, GBI or the news stations. If indeed there was a murder, and you fear a cover-up, that's the best way to prevent one. In the meantime, I have to agree with previous posters. Put up or shut up.
