Boozer Bops Beacon Bouncer

A bouncer for The Beacon @ Sherman & 4th has decided to press charges against a drunk who hit him in the face recently. Eric Nelson told police that the man arrived at the bar with a group of friends and then became combative when a waitress told him he couldn’t leave the premises with a beer. When confronted by another bouncer, the customer laughed, drank his beer, and then handed the bottle to Nelson’s co-worker. The customer walked toward Nelson, who had his hands in his pockets, and hit him in the temple when he noticed Nelson shaking his head nearby. Nelson also reported that he was hit in the back of his head as he was falling by someone with a cast on his hand. The bouncer required medical attention.
