Hooters that served Ofc. Leotta's killer targeted by county

ROCKVILLE (WUSA9) -- The bar that served Luis Reluzco drinks until his BAC was nearly three times the legal limit on the night he killed Ofc. Noah Leotta could soon lose its liquor license, if Montgomery County gets its way.

The county Board of License Commissioners sent a formal letter to the Hooters on Rockville Pike on Tuesday, charging them with “allowing a person to be serve and/or to comsume alcoholic beverages past the point of intoxication” on the night Leotta was killed. Representatives of the bar/restaurant will have to appear at a “show cause” hearing on June 16th.

Hooters did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the letter sent by the county.

Reluzco pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter last month, clearing the way for the county to act against the restaurant.

Luis had a 1 pint flask full of Jack Daniels when he arrived at the establishment in question.It was empty before he left.Patrons in the bathroom (where he went to drink out of the flask) heard him say it was Jack and saw the contents through the clear side of the flask,thus knowing it was full when he arrived.My hope is that those patrons will make official statements and testify in court.

what a LOAD -- no liability for Democrat politicians' SANCTUARY policies that let him be there to begin with

Could his family file a Civil Suite against the Restaurant?

There's no mention of how many drinks were sold to him. Too many unknowns to say if they're liable for selling one drink in an hour or four drinks.

There is no Dram Shop liability in Maryland

Murrleland, where you can get caught drunk at Senior Prom, lose the ability to walk at graduation, then get the penalty overturned by the superintendent. Montgomery County - where $$$$$ talks and no punishment for doing wrong.

Show Cause Hearing.

The evidence will be presented to determine if there is enough to move forward to a trial.

Sometimes it ends with the Show Cause.

Every bar I go to similar to this one have a computerized system that tracks what I buy all night tracking drink by appetizer and has a tab at the end of the night. Miss "Flask in the restroom" may have a point, but the tale of the tape may defend Hooters.

That's why we have courtrooms. Good luck to all...
