Memphis-Area Developer Arrested as Crosstown Brewing Plans to Close

Memphis, TN, October 16, 2026 —

A local developer involved with the failed Cascades project in Southaven has been arrested and is in jail, while Crosstown Brewing Co. is set to close after nearly nine years of operation, according to the available summary of Memphis-area news.

Details about the developer’s identity, the date and location of the arrest, and the allegations or charges were not provided. The summary also does not specify which role the developer had in the Cascades project or when the project failed. No information was provided about court proceedings or what may happen next.

Crosstown Brewing Co. is also set to close, ending nearly nine years of operation. The closure date and the company’s explanation for the decision were not provided. The summary does not say whether the closure will affect employees, customers, or other businesses.
