Post-Beehive DUI Crash Fuels St. Charles Tavern Debate

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.

Perhaps another issue is the immaturity of the patron for getting behind the wheel of a car. Patron's listed address is 100 block of south Third Street. 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 ›

Each of our citizens was guaranteed the right to the pursuit of happiness...so long as he brings no harm to his fellow citizens or their property. When did this change?
