Hopefully everyone is ok! http://www.mnpoliceclips.com/audio-minneapolis-robbery-at-sportys-pub-and-grill-11116.html
Per the audio: Robbed at gunpoint last night. 2 males in all black clothing and ski masks. All the patrons at the time were robbed as well - approx. 20 people. Audio ends with taking a suspect into custody. Sounds like a really scary situation. Hope everyone is OK, I'm sure people are pretty shaken up.
Shit. I was on the phone with a buddy who was there last night, we were making some plans for later this week. Hope he wasn't involved. Can't listen to that here at work, do they say what time this occurred? Edit: Dammit @mingo
Whoa, scary. I've gone there fairly often for the last 10 years or so (since before they got their liquor license back). Glad I wasn't there when this happened. Hope everyone that was there is ok.
The Strib article has the most detail. http://www.startribune.com/agitated...s-near-u-bartender-flees-with-safe/365030891/ Minor quibble. Mark is a manager (and most importantly, the procurer of beer for Sporty's and The Unofficial). The article implies he's the owner. The taps were untouched. No beer was stolen. And Sporty's, as usual, didn't have any Saga so none was stolen. And I wasn't there. I'll stop in later to talk to people, but the important thing is no one was hurt and they apprehended two suspects rather quickly.
I always appreciated how calm the k9 officer's talked over the years while their dogs were overtaking them on the radio. "He is very dk"... haha, classy joint. Time stamped at 22 mins so 12:22 last night I presume.
I was at Sporty's on Saturday night, and usually go there a few times a month. Scary stuff to say the least.
WCCO had this as a lead story 2night , this is big news the bar saga and just the mystique a lead story 2 night Reg Chapman reports
