JACKSON, Miss. – A Jan. 8 trial date has been set for two men arrested for selling sex toys to an undercover officer during a sting operation last month at Adult Video and Books.
Store owner James Salters and cashier Jason Paige were charged with violating a state law that prohibits the sale of sex toys. Jackson vice officers hauled out garbage bags filled with adult novelties during the investigation.
“It's just an undercover sting,” Sergeant William Gladney said at the time. “We periodically check the adult entertainment here in the city of Jackson [and] make sure they're complying with the adult entertainment ordinances. We got a complaint from a citizen that heard it on the radio. We sent an undercover officer and made a purchase.”
The shop has been raided at least three times in the past two years.
