A 43-year-old Memphis woman named Tammy Lou Hensley was arrested by the Memphis Police Department after allegedly operating an unlicensed squirrel barbecue business out of the trunk of her car.

Key Details of the Incident:

• The Arrest & Location: Hensley was taken into custody on a Tuesday afternoon at a Memphis Kroger parking lot following multiple citizen complaints.
• The Operation: Witnesses reported Hensley soliciting customers near her Chevrolet Impala selling $10 squirrel plates complete with sides.
• The Setup: Her trunk doubled as a makeshift food station featuring crockpots, cooking supplies, and a promotional sign. When confronted by authorities, she attempted to close the trunk and deny the operation.

If hungry I woulda bought some. I like squirrel.

Better than a $10 big mac

If I'd of run into her, we'd likely have been doing business.

That's what's wrong with America these days. No tolerance for creative entrepreneurship.

Probably others selling drugs across the road at the same time.

I don't think this is what's wrong with America.

^^^So you're glad somebody got arrested that had an idea how to make ends meet with a creative side hustle, instead of just begging on a street corner or living off the government's dole?

Well, to each their own I guess.

Keep in mind in the city of Memphis. Could just as likely be rats.

I bet it'd taste like squirrel.

Ya, I don't want people shooting Wildlife and selling it out of their Trunk.

Imagine having a restraunt, paying taxes, insurance, all that and having people setting up across the street selling wildlife out of their vehicle.

Imagine manning up and making your own decision on what you wanted to buy for lunch, a plate in a sit down restaurant, or a plate of "wildlife" in a wet, breezy, parking lot.

Gotta give her credit for trying! In Mo it's against the law to sell wild game.

ahh , but not rat


I definitely give her credit for trying

sure beats another person on the welfare

urban squirrels need a good thinning any way , bunch of traps and go around the burbs collecting traps up , that could work.

do you really think most people can tell rat from tree rat when you take the head , tail , feet and cook it in a crock pot for hours

She could be arrested in my state for violations of food sanitation laws, for not having a retail license, and for not paying sales taxes. We tax food sales here. I suppose Kroger could press charges for unauthorized use of their parking lot.

Girl Scouts get a pass. At least they ask for permission first.
