 Proceedings for the revocation or suspension of any permit authorizing the sale of beer or wine at retail for a violation of any of the provisions of Section 67-3-53 may be brought in the circuit or county court of the county in which the licensed premises are located.

The complaint may be filed by the county prosecuting attorney of the county upon his own initiative or, then by the district attorney of the district in which the county is located, and it shall be mandatory upon the county prosecuting attorney, or district attorney, as the case may be, to file a complaint when requested to do so by a peace officer or any person as provided in this section. Any peace officer within his jurisdiction or any enforcement officer of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division within the Department of Revenue who learns that a retail permittee within his jurisdiction has violated any of the provisions of such section shall file with the county prosecuting attorney of the county in which the licensed premises are located, or, then with the district attorney of the district in which such county is located, an affidavit specifying in detail the facts alleged to constitute such violation, and requesting that a complaint be filed against the permittee for the revocation or suspension of his permit. A like affidavit may be filed with the county prosecuting attorney, or district attorney, as the case may be, by any person who resides, and has for at least one (1) year prior thereto resided within the county in which the licensed premises are located requesting that a complaint be filed for the revocation or suspension of the permittee's permit.

MS Code § 67-3-35 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 67 - Alcoholic Beverages|Chapter 3 - Sale of Light Wine, Beer, and Other Alcoholic Beverages|§ 67-3-35. Judicial revocation or suspension of permit; hearing and judgment

 The complaint shall be heard by the court without a jury. If the court shall find upon the hearing that the offense or offenses charged in the complaint have been established by the evidence, the court shall order the revocation or suspension of the permit. If the court finds that the permittee has not previously violated the law in the operation of his licensed business, and that no permit or license held by him has previously been suspended or revoked, and if it appears to the satisfaction of the court that there is reasonable ground to expect that the permittee will not again commit the offense or offenses charged in the complaint and that to revoke the permit would be unduly severe, then the court may suspend the permit for such period of time as the court deems proper. However, if the permittee has previously had his permit suspended or revoked, it shall be mandatory upon the court upon a finding of guilty to revoke the said permit. The judgment of the court revoking or suspending such permit shall not be superseded or stayed during the pendency of an appeal therefrom. A certified copy of the final order or decree of the court shall be forwarded by the clerk of the court to the commissioner.   After the filing of a complaint with the clerk of the court for the revocation or suspension of a permit, the court in which the complaint is filed shall retain jurisdiction to hear and determine such complaint and to enter judgment revoking or suspending such permit. For the purpose of such hearing and as to the effect of the judgment of the court entered pursuant thereto, the permit shall be in full force and effect even though the permittee, after filing of such complaint, may have surrendered his permit, or such permit may have expired, or the rights of the permittee thereunder may have otherwise terminated. It is the purpose of this section to preclude the permittee from avoiding the effect of a judgment of revocation by a court by reason of conditions arising subsequent to the filing of a complaint.

2020 Mississippi Code|Title 67 - Alcoholic Beverages|Chapter 3 - Sale of Light Wine, Beer, and Other Alcoholic Beverages|§ 67-3-37. Judicial revocation or suspension of permit; enforcement

It shall be the duty of all peace officers, within their jurisdiction, and all enforcement officers of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division of the Department of Revenue to enforce the provisions of Section 67-3-53 and they shall frequently visit all licensed premises within their jurisdiction to determine whether such permittees are complying with the laws. They shall promptly investigate all complaints made to them by any citizen relative to any alleged violations of such section within their jurisdiction. When any peace officer or enforcement officer of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division has knowledge of a violation of such section committed by a permittee within his jurisdiction, it shall be his duty forthwith to file an affidavit with the county prosecuting attorney or district attorney requesting that a complaint be filed for the revocation or suspension of the permit of the permittee.
MS Code § 67-3-39 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 67 - Alcoholic Beverages|Chapter 3 - Sale of Light Wine, Beer, and Other Alcoholic Beverages|§ 67-3-39. Judicial revocation or suspension of permit; jurisdiction of courts is not exclusive

However, when a complaint is filed with the court any proceedings which may then be pending before the commissioner against the same permittee on the same charges shall abate and no proceedings for the revocation or suspension of a permit for a violation of the provisions of Section 67-3-53 shall be filed with the commissioner when proceedings are pending before the court against the permittee on the same charges. The revocation or suspension of a permittee's state permit by the court or by the commissioner shall automatically revoke or suspend any municipal license or permit held by such person. The revocation or suspension of a permittee's permit shall be in addition to and not in lieu of or limitation of any other penalty imposed by law.
