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.

David Kelleran = Devil drank ale!

Was some of the alcohol was waylaid before flowing into the bowels of
the earth?:

The New York publican David Kelleran:
"Cop'll hit ale, drink away, be drunk even!"

or

The New York publican David Kelleran
vs
The cop invariably drunk all weekend

Not really, unless the devil happens to live in the sewers. But it's a
sad story anyway.

Now that sounds good. I think that's exactly how it happened.

It all heads down into the bowels of hell, surely.

I shouldn't echo the stereotype, but it's so easy...
One can't spend one's whole week at doughnut shops, after all.

Huge daft cop has found one:
A coffee and doughnut shop.

This I like, although maybe the other way round

Thanks.

(I did it that way mainly to be different; I couldn't choose
between the two.)
