HAMMOND - Three bartenders were arrested and a bar owner was issued a summons after video footage showed a Hammond bar making 116 alcohol sales to underage customers in three hours.




quote:

Hammond Police started investigating a potential missing person case after clothing and personal items were found on the sidewalk along East Charles Street. The items belonged to 18-year-old Richard Clementi, who was soon found asleep in the sanctuary of a nearby church. He told detectives he and some friends went to The Brown Door Bar the night before and that he had been served alcohol.

Detectives watched the surveillance footage from the bar the night before and found that in just three hours, the bartenders made 116 alcohol sales to underaged customers, including Clementi.

Three bartenders from The Brown Door were arrested and charged with unlawful sales: 20-year-old Sydney Mitchell, 22-year-old Michael Cuccia and 21-year-old Tristan Stravinsky.

The owner of the bar, 57-year-old Patrick Broussard, was also issued a misdemeanor summons for letting a disorderly place.

Lastly, Clementi was issued a misdemeanor summons for unlawful purchase.

Is this the former UFC fighter’s son ? If it is I think he was a 4-time state champion wrestler.

I damn near lived in The Brown Door and Mule's when I went to Southeastern. This is nothing new. Old baw needs to learn to handle his liquor. It says he went to church to sleep it off. That's pretty funny.

Back in the day, we could legally drink at 18. The Viet Nam war and the draft caused that. The Brown Door used to have live bands and it was lit. Why did they change the law? We were considered adults, not kids.

How do they know how old the customers are from watching the video?

Unless there were bands/no bands.

18 year olds aren’t “minors.”

How can detectives determine exactly 116 drinks were sold to people under age from surveillance footage?
It doesn’t sound like this was an undercover sting operation so i bet a detective was making some guesses.

Louisiana changed the law to match the rest of the country. IIRC, they marketed it as "auto insurance premiums will go down if we change the drinking age". Typical LA political bullsh*t.
