Subject: Open containers and liquor code violations
Mayor Stockton,
Early Saturday morning December 9, 2006 was very
busy with open containers coming out of Fat Jacks, two incidents which we sent
to the Bloomington Police along with a formal complaint. Please find
attached a photos of the third violation which I could not attribute to any one
bar, as this gentleman stood in front of Lancasters at the time indicated
on the time stamp on the photos, and was openly drinking what looks like a cup
fairly full of beer, and no one seem to notice or even care.
It is no wonder there was an altercation and
stabbing on Mulberry street between a group of people coming out of Fat Jacks
and a group coming out of Daddios on December 1, 2006. Whats next, a
shooting? What does it take to get this situation under control and punish
the bars responsible for overserving. That all the
remaining downtown merchants need do to is try have explain to our
customers that the downtown is not dangerous, when these kinds of
incidents, as well as fights and assualts are becoming more
frequent.
Sincerely,
John Shank
