RE: All licenses held by Diamond Dewey's, nc. d/b/a Pub East for the premises located at
1180-7`" Street East in Saint Paul
LicenseID #0067176
Deaz Ms. Trumbie:
The Department of Safety and Inspections (DSI) has commended adverse action against all
licenses held by Diamond Dewey's, Inc, d/b/a Pub East for the emises ]ocated at 1180-7` Street East in
Saint Paul. The basis for the recommendation is as follows:
On August 27, 2008, St. Paul Police were called to your e ablishment on a
report of shots fired (CN #08-177-518). The caller said the artender was
outside the bar firing a shotgun. When police arrived they de ined several
individuals, including the bartender who witnesses identified as t shooter.
When police walked into the kitchen area to clear it for officer safety, ne of
the officers noticed a biack pistol grip shotgun sitting on top of a cabi t in
plain view just inside the kitchen area. When you arrived, you told po' e
you had no knowledge of a shotgun in the bar and that your bartender ha
been drinking while bartending.
Officers arrested Ronnie Eugene Stafford for Reckless Discharge of a
Firearm. While police were transporting Mr. Staffard to the Law
Enforcement Center, he told police that "I did what I had to do. I had to get
`em out of the bar." Police noted t6at Mr. Stafford had an odor of alcohol
on his breath and when they administered a PBT at the scene he registered
.182.
On September 19, 2008, Mr. Stafford pled guilty and was convicted in
Ramsey County Court of Misdemeanor Firearm (Discharge) in violation of
St. Paul Legislative Code §225.06 and was subsequently sentenced on
November 26, 2008.
