Barnett's Club in line to lose liquor license

[Fosco33]

Let's see if this news makes it to the front page of SI or ESPN like the jaywalking ticket - probably not as it's not as 'newsworthy' as digging up dirt on shady cops.

I think they gave him another chance in hopes that he wil screw up. They realized how much bad pub they were all getting and this is their bandaid of a fix. I just dont believe that after all that has happened they are doing this out of good faith in Barnett.

Well I would say that is obvious.

This whole thing is no longer about 5-6 or Barnett. It is about a city having to do some damage control. At this point they are hoping everything works out fine with Barnett's club so it never has to be brought up again. The last thing they want to do is have to yank his license again.

Mad. That issue has been 'a whole big piece of crap' that hopefully will go away.

What a nightmare that has been to OUR boy. A really bad hair cut.

GRAFFITI ON BARNETT'S NIGHTCLUB
LABELED AS HATE CRIME BY POLICE

Gannett Wisconsin Newspapers

Green Bay police say they are treating the case of graffiti painted on FiveSix Ultra Lounge last month as a hate crime because the painting included racial slurs. The building is owned by Green Bay Packers linebacker Nick Barnett. As police continue to investigate, the amount of award money offered for information leading to the arrest of the individual or people who painted the graffiti increased to $1,550 Wednesday after additional contributions to the reward fund. Green Bay Police Chief Craig Van Schyndle said officials hope the increased reward will help crack the case. The reward fund was started by a $50 contribution from Green Bay Ald. Tom De Wane.

REWARD RISING IN FiveSix CASE

By Kelly McBride / Gannett Wisconsin Newspapers

GREEN BAY - A $1,000 donation from an Abrams resident has upped the ante for information leading to the arrest of the vandal or vandals who damaged FiveSix Ultra Lounge the morning of June 30. The reward offer started with a $50 contribution from De Wane and has snowballed since. De Wane and the city plan to set up a bank account for the reward money, he said. As for the donor, De Wane is happy she has come forward with the money. "She felt that Nick (Barnett) got a bad deal with the jaywalking and all that," he said. "And she didn't feel that anyone would come forward with the amount we had."

People with information on the vandalism incident can call De Wane at 920-465-7803 and will be allowed to remain anonymous. Nick Barnett, an owner of FiveSix, received a written warning for jaywalking in June while two people who were with him didn't. This happened at the same time the Green Bay Packers linebacker was appealing to the City Council to keep his liquor license.

Good stuff. Does that mean the reward money is up to $2,550?

I'm interpreting fr. those reports.

That on Wed. of this week - the award rose to $1550.00 after a $1000.00 dollar contribution bolstered the amount of the reward that began with a $50.00 contribution,Harvey.

Whatever? It's likely higher than $1550.00 today. That maybe isn't enough to bring anyone forward, due to possible repurcussions.

[GBRulz]

I believe the reward money is current at $1500.

the police are treating this as a hate crime. Personally, I think it was Guy Zima

[Harlan Huckleby]

Hah! I think Barnett did it to gain public support. If so, it worked! The reward will have to climb considerably before he turns himself in.

I'm only kidding, but I wouldn't at all be surprised if it was done by somebody who supports Barnett.

[Packers4Ever]

Guy Zima was the same small minded official who headed up the campaign to get the hot dog vendors off the streets at bar close, too.

What was the problem with the hot dog vendor? Violence breaking out when the onions were gone?

Naaah, 007, I'd say it's much more apt to be
because the sauerkraut for the 'dogs' ran out!

I know it's higher than that now. I know it's at least $2,500 because there was another update in the Green Bay Press Gazette.
