Gay club accident

Chad Morris and James Pence, who co-own Bar:PM and live above it, said they came downstairs after they heard the club at around a. Louis city police department vehicle in the front of our building. An officer was driving too close to a parked car Monday morning and then overcorrected and lost control of the vehicle, crashing into Bar:PM, according to an incident report from the St.

Louis Metropolitan Police Department. The offender was arrested for assaulting an officer and resisting arrest, according to the report. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones said at a news conference on Monday that the gay is still under investigation. Pence said he was the first on the scene, and he was put in handcuffs before Morris was arrested for refusing to show his ID.

After he refused, Pence said, he thought an officer made an offensive comment to Morris. Khazaeli said Morris arrived at the scene and began asking why his husband was being handcuffed and that officers began yelling at him. He said Morris was trying to leave the scene down an alley when officers grabbed him and physically beat him in the alley, which is off accident.

Khazaeli said in a post on X that prosecutors agreed to release Morris on Tuesday morning on his own recognizance and that they reduced the felony assault charge to a misdemeanor. And when they asked what happened, to be treated this way. On Monday morning, St. Louis resident Zach Gandy, whose group the Rudis Leather Society regularly visits the Bar:PM said bar employees called to tell him what happened, so he gathered about a dozen volunteers to help clean up the bar so it can reopen.
