St. Charles mayor says authorities can’t account for 2½-hour gap from the time a Streamwood man left The Beehive until he was cited with public drunkenness.
The Beehive Tavern & Grille, 204 W. Main St., which came under scrutiny by St. Charles officials after a March 14 incident in which an intoxicated man who had been in the bar earlier made several calls to an elderly woman’s apartment asking her to open the door, will not be cited in the incident. Police cited John J. Palomo, 32, of Streamwood, with disorderly conduct-public drunkenness for his role in the incident. He was cited at 3:08 a.m., and told officers he had called the elderly resident in an attempt to get inside the apartment building in the 200 block of North 2nd Street so he could get warm. But Palomo also told police he had spent the night drinking at The Beehive and produced some credit card receipts to prove it, and that …

St. Charles police send a report to the Liquor Commission after a Beehive patron drives into a parked car with a blood-alochol content three times the legal limit.
St. Charles police have forwarded a report to the city Liquor Commission after a woman had an accident within minutes of leaving The Beehive Tavern, 204 W. Main St., early Friday. No one was hurt in the crash, but police said the woman’s blood-alcohol content was three times the legal limit. Police described the woman, whose blood-alcohol content was .248, as “extremely intoxicated,” and the report concludes that the tavern either overserved alcohol to the woman or allowed her to remain on the premises in an intoxicated state, both of which violate the city’s liquor code. Kathryn Dale Doepke, 22, of the 100 block of South 3rd Street, was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, DUI with a blood-alcohol content greater than .08…

Beehive is on 200 block of west Main St. This 22 year old could not walk a block and a half between listed address and Beehive. Or worse yet, she did walk to Beehive and then decided to drive somewhere else! The staff at the Beehive is still … more ›

Am I the only person who does not blame the bar in this incident? The patrons going in there and drinking are adults who make their own decisions, drunk or not. The bar is there to serve alcohol, not play judge or jury on who can and cannot drink. This is like smokers blaming cigarette companies for their lung cancer. These are consenting adults who should bear the responsibility and/or … more ›
