POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT A. Incident Report - Henry's Bar & Grill Sergeant Riggins reviewed the police report of an alleged incident that occurred on July 27, 2000 involving an intoxicated pedestrian contacted in an alleyway near Henry's Bar & Grill. The police report noted that the individual stated he had been drinking at Henry's for two hours and had consumed approximately six beers. Riggins summarized that there were no witnesses that could confirm the amount of alcohol consumed by the patron or the length of time he had been at Henry's. Citations were issued to both the bartender and owner of the establishment. Sergeant Riggins offered that an additional charge might be appropriate in addition to the "selling to certain persons prohibited." He suggested something that might address the conduct of an establishment. Member Evans asked if the bartender cited and the off duty bartender, also questioned, attended the police department training conducted at Henry's Bar & Grill. Riggins stated they had both attended the training session.
