Bar Patron Punches Bar Owner After Being Cut Off

Player's Pub patron was arrested for simple assault earlier this week.

You know you’ve had a few too many drinks if the bartender cuts you off. However, punching the bartender is likely not the best way to protest.

A female patron at Player’s Pub was arrested for simple assault of the bartender at 12:32 a.m. on Sunday. The patron punched the bar owner after the owner cut her off from drinking any more.  The woman’s blood-alcohol level was 0.10, according to a preliminary breath test.
