Coeur d’Alene Bar Report 4.29-5.1.11

While you were sleeping early (1:22 a.m.) Saturday morning, CPD Blues had their hands full with a belligerent 23YO drunk who'd been trespassed from the Icon for one year for fighting with another man and bar bouncers. Originally, a bouncer didn't want to press charges. But 35 minutes later, Belligerent Drunk returned to the Icon to try to start another fight. CPD Blues tried to persuade the jerk to leave the area and arrested him for trespassing when he wouldn't. Belligerent Drunk was kneed in the thigh and tazed by officers before getting into the patrol car. Where he kicked an officer in the shoulder and chest before being grabbed by another cop. Which earned him the additional charge of "battery on a police officer." All of this, of course, means that it's time for the latest Downtown Coeur d'Alene Bar Report. Full report here.

Question: Anyone want to check to see whether the Icon again leads the Downtown Bar Report League in number of incidents?
