The man was asked to leave a downtown St. Charles bar after staffers realized he had been banned from local taverns.
A St. Charles man who already had been banned from most downtown St. Charles taverns has been cited with assault after he reportedly threatened a bar manager who asked him to leave the establishment early Saturday, according to police reports. Police said an assault citation was issued against Ryan R. Fitzsimmons, 29, of the 41W000-099 block of Empire Road, who had defied a St. Charles Tavern Association ban when he entered Alley 64, 212 W. Main St., and became belligerent with the staff there when he was asked to leave. Police were called to the tavern at 12:37 a.m. Saturday, April 20, 2013, by one of the owners, who told the officer Fitzsimmons is on the association’s “banned list” of patrons who have been barred from downtown bars.

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 aldermen direct staff to draw up proposals to change liquor licenses, distinguishing bars from restaurants, special permits for later hours, and more.
City officials appear intent on pushing through at least three ordinance changes they hope will give the city better leverage in dealing with liquor-related problems in downtown St. Charles. Aldermen, meeting Monday as the St. Charles City Council Government Services Committee, directed the city staff to draw up changes to city ordinances that would: a) Redefine the difference between a tavern license and a restaurant license, most likely predicated on a percentage of food vs. beverage sales. b) Replaces the city’s one liquor commissioner, a position held by the mayor, with a commission representing the mayor as commissioner, plus a mix of aldermen and residents who would work together in levying penalties for liquor code violations, among…
A Streamwood man is charged with public drunkenness after trying to enter a building to stay warm by calling a tenant and demanding to enter.
What started as a report of a suspicious incident ended with one man being cited with public drunkenness and a local bar being reported to the St. Charles Liquor Commission. According to police, John J. Palomo, 32, of the 100 block of Heritage Lane, Streamwood, was cited with disorderly conduct—public drunkenness at 3:08 a.m. March 14, 2013, after an 83-year-old resident of the 200 block of North 2nd Street called 911 to report that a drunken man was calling her apartment and asking that she open the door and made comments about knocking the door down. Officers responding to the residence found an intoxicated man identified as Palomo, who one of the officers had seen walking around downtown near one establishment after the bars closed at 2…

This frustrates me: "The first violation was for permitting an intoxicated person to loiter there and for serving or delivering an alcoholic beverage to an intoxicated person.

Police follow a drunken man into the House Pub to find him with an alcoholic beverage, and the police report records reveal an expletive-laced conversation with one of the owners.
Yes, it's upriver and seemingly far away, but the ongoing saga of bar-related incidents in St. Charles is interesting, both because folks from our town sometimes frequent those establishments and because similar events could happen here. Two St. Charles police officers stopped for a traffic light at East Main Street and Riverside Avenue watched a drunken man stumble around the sidewalk before entering a downtown bar. What came next, after the officers parked their squads and followed the man into The House Pub, 16 S. 1st Ave., was a profanity-laced confrontation with one of the owners that will be recorded in a report of a state liquor commission violation to the St. Charles Liquor Commission. Police said the incident began about 1:02 a.m…

Mayor calls for hearings to enforce liquor ordinances after Oct. 15 hearings for Kane County Rookies and Alibi Bar & Grill violations.
The city has fined two St. Charles bars for liquor ordinance violations as pressure continues to require liquor-license holders to abide by the city’s laws, even as the City Council gears up to consider raising fines for alcohol-elated offenses by bar patrons. Kane County Rookies, 1545 W. Main St., was fined $1,500, and the Alibi Bar & Grill, 12 N. 3rd St., were fined $1,000 for the violations, according to a release from the city.

Free drinks offer draws ire of other downtown bars feeling City Council pressure. Liquor license holder cited with two violations.
It would appear that at least a few downtown St. Charles liquor license holders have taken to heart the St. Charles City Council’s proposed crackdown on over serving alcohol and a proliferation of drunken brawls in recent months. Saturday, one downtown bar owner told police he and another bar manager had received information from their customers that the Alibi, 12 N. 3rd St., was serving free drinks for commercial purposes and was even advertising it, both of which are prohibited by the state liquor code, according to police. Police issued one citation on each of the charges to Richard A. Simpson Jr., 33, of Downers Grove, who told officers he was the holder of the Alibi’s liquor license. According to a police report on the incident, …
