Walnut Creek is ordering a bar with a recent history of disturbances to close two hours early each night.
While there have been no calls to police in the past three months, officers in recent years responded to reports of fights, assaults, public intoxication, drug sales, and a quadruple shooting that killed a 25-year-old man."I think our society has become too tolerant of bad behavior and to put it in a 2-year-old's term, Spoontonic needs a timeout," said Walnut Creek planning commissioner Bob Pickett.
But Jaz Walia, the lounger's manager, told the planning commission that he's done whatever has been asked by him, including issuing a cover charge and getting more security guards. He added that he's followed the recommendations of police and the problems have dropped dramatically.All the news you need to know, every day
