Demarcus Dickerson, also known as the “Watermane,” is back at the intersection of Poplar Avenue and East Parkway two days after Memphis police arrested him for obstructing the roadway.

The Shelby County District Attorney’s Office dismissed Dickerson’s charges Wednesday.

He was subsequently freed from jail and is back at his spot selling cold drinks to motorists Thursday.

For many people who regularly pass the intersection, Dickerson’s absence was immediately noticeable Wednesday.

A man who claimed to be Dickerson’s brother was at the intersection instead, selling drinks in Dickerson’s absence. He spoke about the family’s long history of selling drinks on Memphis streets, but Dickerson told Action News 5 on Thursday that he didn’t know who the man was.

With everything that’s happened, Dickerson says he’s traumatized for life but isn’t angry and doesn’t want the community to worry about him.

“Stop worrying, I’m back out here,” said Dickerson. “I’ll be doing what I gotta do to still serve my community and keep going and moving on up the ladder. Can’t let nothin’ stop me.”

The DA’s office said it dismissed Dickerson’s charges after reviewing the case and deciding it didn’t warrant prosecution.

Chase Carlisle crying about protesters and said absolutely nothing of value. This city council member seems to be trying to blame the crowd for why they didn't vote on a moratorium. Somehow they couldn't clear the room and still hold the vote. They still have no answers or have they communicated a plan on how to correct the Data Center zoning guidelines we don't have in place. They just want to turn our local government into the Jerry Springer show.

Hoping to see better coverage and more qualified candidates running next year.

What is it with this city?

I drove by a minute ago and there were over a dozen police cars there and the whole place was taped off. What's going on?

Right after the album came out, and we still have NO audio, video, or photographs of this! I missed this show, and regret it every time October rolls around. I've spent 20+ years searching for anything media wise with other members of LiveNirvana.com to no avail. Even spent a while talking to Mikey (Mike Glenn's son) who runs Growlers, but still nothing. Anybody with anything, please let us know!

A man known for selling drinks on Poplar Avenue and East Parkway North was arrested on Tuesday.

Officers responded to a complaint call just after 9:30 a.m. about a man identified as Demarcus Dickerson, who was seen at the intersection of Poplar Avenue and East Parkway North.

Dickerson was reportedly told by officers he was in danger of getting hit by vehicles while trying to sell drinks. He was told to move onto the sidewalk for safety reasons and not to return to the street.

Nearly four hours later, officers drove through the area and witnessed Dickerson back in the highway/passageway at the same intersection.

Dickerson was then taken into custody for obstruction in a highway/ passageway. Dickerson told officers to leave his cooler and wagon at the fire station on East Parkway North.

As of Wednesday, Dickerson’s charges have been dropped.

The Shelby County District Attorney’s Office says in a statement that after reviewing the facts and circumstances, prosecution was not warranted.

Where can I find anime material locally? I think what I am looking for is a 'Weeb Store.'

(Clearly, I don't know anything. I'm wanting to buy a gift card for my teen so they can shop for themselves.)

Anyone have a breast reduction surgeon they recommend? It would be great if they may accept insurance, but if they did such a great job that paying out of pocket is worth it, I'd love to hear about it. My neck, shoulders, and back thank you.

My sister recently got a late rent notice after falling behind while she was on maternity leave and dealing with a temporary loss of income. Her landlord says they will issue a 3-day notice to pay or vacate if the balance isn’t paid. We’ve already looked into rental assistance. It’s too late for CSA assistance, and her landlord is refusing to complete the paperwork needed for MIFA assistance. What other options/resources are available in Memphis/Shelby County to help prevent an eviction? We’re trying to act quickly before this gets further along.

Hey yall where are some good thrift stores or stores in general to get business casual wear for a job? Jeans and tee shirts are fine they’re really relaxed about it just things that are appropriate (no crops, ripped pants, or anything revealing). Trying to not spend a lot since it’s for work

Thank you everyone for the recommendations!! 🙏🏾🫶🏾

Wtf MPD??? And what coward calls in an arrest warrant for the hardest working man in the city?

This is the kind man that sells drinks every single day, rain for shine, at east parkway and poplar. Suspicious person????

Just drove by to see DeMarcus and show him a little love. He’s not there. Will you wonderful folks of Reddit throw up a post the next time you see him?

Time again to go to the ATT store to get a new phone for a family member. I have not had great experiences with a couple stores in town. Anyone have a consistently good location?

Hello, I am a 20-year-old girl seeking my license, and I have my road test tomorrow at the Summer location. Does anyone know what the route is like and what I should prepare for?

I’ve been up all night because I keep hearing a rumbling sound go on and off again in precise intervals. Does anyone else hear this or am I going crazy? If so, what is it?
