Wrote a story for NewsWorks yesterday about information I’d gathered in regard to the potential civil suit against Deandre Barnes in connection with the fatal hit-and-run of aspiring ballerina Polina Kadiyska on March 18. In short, a pair of bars are being examined as possibly being where alleged hit-and-run killer Deandre Barnes was drinking prior to the brutal collision.
Stacey Witalec, director of external affairs for the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, confirmed to NewsWorks Wednesday that “right to know law” requests regarding licensing history and any records of incident reports, citations, “egregious activity, community complaints or any other [LCB] oversight” had been filed.
Listed in those requests, which cite victim Polina Kadiyska by name, were T-Barr’s Bar at S. Eighth and Jackson streets and Frantic Nightclub at 2514 S. 24th St. Information was also requested about the American Legion Post 153, on whose premises Frantic operates.” [More here]
