According to arrest documents, the trouble began when a man ordered a $6 draft beer at the Beerfest International Brewhouse, a bar at 410 Bourbon St. As the beer was being poured, a friend of the customer told him he had just purchased a beer outside for only $3. The customer asked the bartender whether she would match that price. When she refused, the customer decided to walk away without touching or consuming the beverage.


quote:

a bouncer employed by Beerfest grabbed his arm and attempted to drag him back inside. When the man managed to free himself from the bouncer's grasp, he was "tackled against the wall and punched several times in the face by both Clarence Lacombe and his accomplice,"


quote:

During the altercation, a third friend of the men attempted to intervene and "defuse the situation," the report said. According to the document, the bouncer punched him in the face so hard the man's jaw was shattered and he immediately sought hospital treatment.


quote:

The detective's warrant affidavit said the original customer "sustained two cracked teeth which required dental procedures," and that the third member of his group "received injuries to his jaw which required surgical procedures." The detective also wrote that a responding NOPD officer's body-worn camera recorded "Lacombe's accomplice" admitting to striking the original customer as he tried to leave Beerfest.


In the bouncer's defense...he did get the $6 for the beer.

Where does the law stand on this?

Mostly on the legality of walking away.

I used to bounce in my early college days, walking away will usually get you banned for a night, nothing else.

Also, what I wouldn't have given for an overzealous bouncer to throw a punch at me in late college...

Nothing like delivering a good open hand hit to someone's jaw

It's all good when the bouncers are tossing drunks around but then you will get a meathead who thinks his SECURITY t-shirt gives him the right to legally attack anyone he wants. I remember LSU football players working the bars in Tigerland and just brutalizing drunks at the drop of a hat. They really need some Patrick Swayze rules about being nice. It was all good until he started punching people.

The person who really fricked up is the bouncer. For a paltry $6, where another customer most certainly would've come up right behind that customer and purchased said beer, the bouncer just cost his employer (or their insurance) some big bucks when he sues the frick out of him. And deservedly so.

Could be a simple kidnapping charge in this also;

Would have been pretty cool if the fella who was attacked by the single digit IQ having bouncer would have been an actual man. If this whole account is true the bouncer should have laid on the floor for a few seconds fighting for air, thinking to himself how bad he had fricked up by being a dicksqueeze, with a nice gaping slash in his neck from a simple, common pocket knife. Carry a pocket knife guys, at the very least.

A co worker asked me this week what I thought about her and her sister going to Bourbon Street for a birthday party.

I told her F no. F That stinking crime riddle sewer and everyone associated with it.

That bouncer's knuckles are probably off the charts.

Anyone named Clarence is obviously a TPOS. Good luck at getting a dime out of that frick.
