New York bar-owner David Kelleran, 51, was warned that his cheque for
renewal of the state liquor licence for his restaurant, called 68, had
bounced and that he had 10 days to make acceptable payment. He claims
in a lawsuit that, before that time was up, police arrested him at his
flat for selling alcoholic drinks without a licence. While he was in
jail for the night, he alleges, officers visited Coco66, the properly
licenced pub he owns next door to the restaurant, and proceeded to
pour all of the premises' wine, beer, and spirits down a drain. Both
the bar and the restaurant have been closed since the incident.
