Mississippi- The Jackson Police Department raided two adult bookstores Monday afternoon and arrested an owner and the clerks working at those stores, said Sgt. William Gladney of the Vice/Narcotics Unit.
Gladney said that an undercover officer entered Secrets adult bookstore at 775 E. McDowell Road and the Adult Video & Bookstore at 501 E. McDowell Road and purchased sex toys at each location.
After getting a warrant, police returned about 4 p.m, made arrests and confiscated sex toys at each store, Gladney said.
It is illegal in Mississippi to sell any device designed to stimulate human genitals, Gladney said.
The owner of Secrets was charged with possessing sex toys for purchase or resale. Gladney did not provide the name of the owner.
James Henderson, the clerk at Secrets, was charged with selling a sex toy. Misty Jordan, the clerk at Adult Video & Bookstore, faces the same charge, Gladney said. The charges are misdemeanors.
