She worked there so the likelihood of being served is greater

The Louisiana State University sorority member who allegedly was raped before she was fatally struck by a car reportedly worked at the bar where she and the four male suspects boozed it up in the hours before the shocking attack.

LSU sophomore Madison Brooks, 19, sometimes worked with her Alpha Phi sorority sisters behind the bar counter at Reggie’s in East Baton Rouge, where she had been drinking the evening before she died on Jan. 15, the Daily Mail reported.



Brooks posted several snaps online of herself at the bar, including one with two of her pals captioned, “3 little Reggie’s workers.”



It’s unclear if Brooks was formally employed by the drinking establishment. In Louisiana, the minimum age to bartend and sell alcohol is 18.

Meanwhile, the state Office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control on Tuesday suspended the bar’s liquor license due to “the seriousness of the allegations and the potential threat to public safety” in light of the case, the Advocate reported.

ATC Commissioner Ernest Legier said the emergency suspension will remain in place pending a hearing next month.

Reggie’s has been involved in several incidents over the years, including in October 2015, when a 19-year-old man was charged with raping a drunk woman who left the bar, the Daily Mail reported.

In January 2016, LSU football player Dillon Gordon, 22, was stabbed at the drinking joint, according to the paper.

The following year, its license was reportedly suspended for 45 days after dozens of people were arrested, many for underage drinking.

And in May 2022, Carltez Tucker, 16, was shot dead outside the bar and a 24-year-old woman was injured. Three people were arrested in that incident, the Daily Mail said.
