Ryan Urban employee of Texas J's stated he responded to the Facebook message
from Elizabeth Aubin. He was also involved in the altercation. He has been the
general manager for 7 years and son of the licensee. He stated that Calteux's friends
asked that the police not be called.
Jeremy Calteux, 3127A S Logan Ave stated he was patronizing the bar and has no
recollection of being at the premises. He stated he was hospitalized for 11 days after
being assaulted at the premises. He received 2 skull fractures, a brain hemorage,
and now has Bell's Palsy. He also had 3 weeks of physical and speech therapy.
Ald. Coggs moved to enter into the record the photos presented by Atty. DeSiato as
exhibit D. (Prevailed 3-0)
Ald. Rainey moved to enter into the record the search warrant and photo of the
premises as exhibit #1-2. (Prevailed 3-0)
Cpt Wurth stated she objects to the premises based on the deceit and lack of
cooperation by employees, the nature of the incident that occurred. The inability to
obtain the remaining video surveillance is problematic. The police were never
contacted regarding the incident.
Det Gary Cole investigated the battery at the premises at the employees were
cooperative, however he spoke with the employees days later.
Ald. Lewis moved to enter into the record the timeline of events and still shots
provided by Atty. Whitcomb as exhibit #3. (Prevailed 4-0)
Ald. Perez stated there have been lots of incidents with establishments in the area
who contact his office, however the only person to contact him regarding this incident
was the property owner, not the agent or manager. He is concerned about the
manner this incident was handled, without medical attention and lack of
communication with the police and his office. He does not support this establishment.
Atty. DeSiato stated this is about a very violent event that could have resulted in a
death. The agreement was collusive between employees to come up with a story to
tell the police. All video surveillance still has yet to be received by the police from the
incident. He requests revocation.
Atty. Whitcomb stated is it impossible to determine what exactly happened based on
the video and who was drunk and who was not. There is no cover up, but a
misunderstanding of the questions by the police officers. The victim's friends did not
offer him medical attention, so the employees should not be liable.
There has been no discipline in the history of the establishment except for a warning
letter last year. He requests dismissal.
Ald. Zielinski stated the premises should have contacted the police. He added that
the business has been around for over 40 years and 21 years with this operator. Ald.
Coggs stated the video is very disturbing and she has not heard any discussion
regarding changes at the premises as a result of this incident. Ald. Zielinski moved
for a 90 day suspension based on the police report, police testimony, and applicant
testimony. (Prevailed 4-0)
