Outside City Limits

A night of drinking at the City Limits Saloon in Raleigh led to a disciplinary complaint filed against an attorney by the North Carolina State Bar.

It is alleged that he became disruptive when the establishment declined to serve him due to his intoxication and asked him to leave. When a Sheriff’s Deputy tried to get him cab, he allegedly became belligerent and twice kicked him in the shin. He then informed the officer that he would “kick his ass.”

It got worse from there.

He was spitting so much that he was fitted with a spit guard. Taken to the hospital, he threw the spit guard at an officer and urinated on the hospital floor. When given a receptacle to pee in, he did so but threw it at officers and some urine splashed on an ER nurse.

The incident resulted in a conviction on several charges. He was sentenced to 60 days followed by probation.

Fox News 8 reported on the incident and described him as a prominent criminal defense attorney.  (Mike Frisch)
