A recent meeting of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board in Arkansas highlighted serious concerns regarding alcohol consumption and safety at local establishments. The discussions centered around an incident involving a patron, Miss Nicks, who was involved in a driving accident after a night of drinking at Roosters bar.

During the meeting, law enforcement officials detailed the timeline of Miss Nicks' night out, which began around 10:30 PM when she and a friend, Miss White, left for a series of bars. They attempted to enter Lost Beach but were denied entry due to ID issues. They then visited Tippsy's and Heroes before arriving at Roosters at approximately 1:51 AM. At Roosters, Miss Nicks was seen on video engaging in erratic behavior, including drinking from another patron's beer and making snow angels on a pool table.

The timeline revealed that Miss Nicks left Roosters around 4:15 AM, after consuming multiple drinks. A subsequent investigation indicated that she was over twice the legal limit for blood alcohol content when she drove, leading to a serious accident shortly thereafter.

This incident is not isolated; it follows a previous fatal accident linked to Roosters, raising alarms about the establishment's management and adherence to alcohol regulations. The permit holder, Desire Torres, took over the bar in January 2022, and the board is now scrutinizing the bar's practices and potential violations.

The board's discussions underscore the critical need for stricter enforcement of alcohol regulations to ensure public safety. As the community grapples with the implications of these incidents, the board's actions will be pivotal in shaping future policies and practices in local establishments.
