A bartender who served a man who later went on a shooting spree has been charged with violating the state's Alcoholic Beverage Code, which punishes those who, 'with criminal negligence,' sell alcohol to a 'an intoxicated or insane person'

1 / 2"Lindsey Glass, a bartender at Local Public House in Plano, was arrested onApril 30, NBC DFW reportsA Texas bartender who served an inebriated man who later went on a shooting spree in 2017 has been charged with violating the state's Alcoholic Beverage Code, which punishes those who,"with criminal negligence," sell an alcoholic beverage to an"habitual drunkard or an intoxicated or insane person.

Glass allegedly continued to serve Spencer Hight, 32, after he showed signs of being drunk, according to a report compiled by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission last year. Hight, who had a blood alcohol level four times the state's legal limit, later drove to his estranged wife's home and shot her and seven other people while they were watching a Dallas Cowboys game. He was killed by police who responded to the scene.

"Spencer has a big knife on the bar and is spinning it and just asked for his tab and said I have to go do some dirty work...Psychoooooooo," she wrote. The bartender's lawyer, Scott Palmer, argued that his client did, in fact, act responsibly in trying to stop Hight.

This is a tough nut. I agree bartenders should cut off people who are “obviously intoxicated” but you can’t expect them to analyze their mental stability. Do you expect them to have a PhD in psychology?
