ComPol Wants JR’s Bar’s License Suspended

Police Commissioner Chester Williams told reporters this morning that his department is seeking to have JR’s Bar’s license suspended. He said, “I just told the legal officer this morning in conference to write the Toledo Licensing Board and seek to have the license suspended.”

The directive comes after a video on social media shows a violent brawl that erupted at the bar in Punta Gorda Town on Saturday night.

The bar is located just a block from PG police station.

The video shows a group of men at the bar with one of them speaking with one of the women behind the bar. A dispute between them quickly escalated when he grabbed one of the women by the arm. The woman threw a pint bottle at the man.

The confrontation spiralled out of control with the men hurling bottles across the bar.
