Hey, I was just letting you know I'm still here. Get in touch if you want to chat about Devan. Glad you spoke out on here. The truth will all come out soon enough, and you're right, that business won't last long. I hope to see you next time I'm in town.

SouthernBelle, GRACE is a VIRTUE

Jamie doesnt care, he is drunk all the time at his establishment, cussing acting a fool, He even tried to blow fire one night drunk... I would ask everyone including the police department to look at other incidents that have taken place here and how they were carried out. In fact request a copy of all police reports filed against this establishment and you will see that EVEN THEIR SECURITY has acted in very CRIMINAL ways. In fact I believe there may actually be more than one lawsuit against this place that may need to become publice knowlege. How they handle security and "their" video tapes ought to be questioned also. I know jamie and the previous manager closely and am disgusted at the way this incident and others have been handled. I think that the PTC community ought to demand action and take just one moment and request their police records to be made public of all and any reports involving red room and serious crimes. Then everyone can see how they "handle" issues and people in general.
IE. For any reporter that wants a REAL good story pursue those reports form the PTCPD

the police have the video tapes and they were actually on channel 5 news the same day that the guy died. As for your slander and cruel assumptions of the owner and previous manager - From your statement that you know the "owner closely" I can assume probably)that you are one of the local drunks that have been banned from this establishment and threaten the security guards with law suits. Get a life

No I am not a banned drunk in fact something much different. I actually am not the type to frequent the bars, and the sad thing with that is the few times I have been there I have seen enough actions from the owners the management and employees,(from giving free drinks,drinking themeselves, to irresponsible criminal actions, to destroying evidence) There are many thing in question with everyone involved with this place. In fact with my first request to have the records of this establishment reviewed I feel that the true nature of this place will be revealed. Drug trafficking, sexual misconduct, involuntary manslaughter, sales after hours, sales to minors, the list can go on. and there are to other very heinous crimes that I believe are still open. What about security guards fratenizing with customers,even employees fratenizing with customers, what about attempted assaults. In fact I request that an investigation start on this establishment. I will even go as far to say it is in the best interest of PTC and fayette county as a whole to conduct a formal investigation on the establsihment and the slap on the hands it gets compared to the misconduct. In fact as for Jamie everyone who has ever met him knows he is an alcoholic and has some REAL PROBLEMS. In fact if I was Mike Stooksbury I would seriously get as much distance from Jamie's self-destructfulness as I can.

Sorry, but minus the alochol related items you mentioned I thought for a second you were talking about a few of the waffle house'a late at night in the area.

Just for the record the couple of times my wife and I went to the Red Room we did not see any type of the behavior you have mentioned. We actually enjoyed a glass of wine on the outside patio and listened to the music. It was early in the evening not sure what happens at any of these places in the late hours. I'm sure the late night bar scene draws plenty of rough rowdy activities and the PTC bars are not exempt of this type of crowd.

I really do not respond or get involved with these blogs but when I see people names and business's getting slandered and trashed without any respect or merit (heresay - blogger's opinion) it's just not fair.

Matter of fact a recent post stated the rules for posting?

"The rules for posting comments, blogs, or forum entries are as follows:

Keep it clean. No obscene language. No threats of physical harm. No personal attacks on private persons".

I guess from your blog - if you manage or own a business you are fair game for personal attacks and exempt from the rules. Good judgement, common sense and ethics should prevail before throwing someone under the bus. You turn could be right around the corner.

It is my understanding that Red Room's security has done more than just say it's PTC problem. It is also my understanding that they themselves(redroom security) has been under investigation for sexual assault that actually took place in the establishment. Some security! It is also my understanding that there have been three seperate complaints to the PTCPD and the better business bureau involving employee fratenization and sexual misconduct. Now I believe that is a story worth pursuing. It really blows my mind how bias the PTC media is in selecting and prosecuting businesses that time and time again conduct themselves in the heinous ways.

"In fact if I was Mike Stooksbury I would seriously get as much distance from Jamie's self-destructfulness as I can."

Is this the same Mike Stooksbury who is a local Realtor? If so, Mike seems to be a real decent and ethical guy.

I hope this is just sloppy reporting instead of sloppy thinking by the bar owner or the police - either have whom should have considered the inside video somewhat relevant.

Try harder people. This is a murder investigation.
