GREELEY — Cheba Hut owner Scott Jennings enjoys serving tasty, toasty sandwiches with a side order of pot humor.

But it was all lost on a Greeley municipal judge who this month denied Jennings' request for a liquor license for his establishment.

Judge Robert Frick, Greeley's lone liquor-license authority, ruled that serving booze at the Cheba Hut would not fit in well with the neighborhood adjacent to the University of Northern Colorado campus.

Jennings, who was asked by Frick at the licensing hearing whether he is a frequent pot smoker, has since "lawyered up" and is asking a District Court judge to overturn Frick's ruling.

"It was a completely bogus decision," said Jennings, who started the Cheba Hut franchise 11 years ago near the Arizona State University campus.

This was a completely bogus decision. The business is a franchise that's operated for over a decade near other college campuses with no incidents reported. This court decision was based entirely on the judge's own biased prejudices, not on any kind of rule of law.
