Liquor Permit Suspended At Bar Where Teen Fell To Death
One week before a teen plummeted to her death from the roof of a city bar, Hartford police had alerted state liquor officials about suspected underage drinking at the establishment.
The Angry Bull Saloon's liquor permit was suspended until March 24 after the death early Friday of Taylor Lavoie, 18, of East Granby, a Central Connecticut State University freshman.
"We are reviewing their security measures and we will make recommendations that they will have to put in place," said Department of Consumer Protection spokeswoman Lora Rae Anderson.
A posting on the bar's Facebook page late Friday said, in part, "The Angry Bull Saloon is devastated by the loss of life of this young college student. We are a popular downtown establishment located in the entertainment district with other popular venues, serving patrons over the age of 21. We consistently have several members of our security staff outside the entry door of the establishment to ensure all patrons are checked for proper identification stating they are 21 or above."
