That\u2019s according to KETK and the Longview News-Journal. Sgt. Marcus Stokke, supervisor for the Longview office of the TABC, said the commission is in talks with Daniel Haislip, the owner of the restaurant, due to the investigation\u2019s findings. Stokke and Haislip said they believe the Lodge\u2019s case will go before a hearing in Austin at the State Office of Administrative Hearings. \u201cI feel confident that we will retain our liquor license, but I feel there will be some kind of penalty involved,\u201d Haislip said. <\/p>\n<p>The investigation stemmed from the beating death of Sean Drake, 39, in the bar\u2019s parking lot after closing in the early morning hours of July 12. Drake was punched in the head and later died. Drake\u2019s autopsy ruled the death a homicide, but a Gregg County grand jury declined to issue an indictment in connection with the death. <\/p>\n<p>Haislip said one of the major questions to determine the bar\u2019s responsibility is whether the establishment is responsible for what happened in their parking lot after closing. \u201cThe responsibility of the parking lot is at question, and that\u2019s where I\u2019ve got some heartburn with it. I was told I should send employees out there to break this up. My first responsibility is to the safety of my employees,\u201d Haislip said. Haislip added that the bar only served Drake three beers the night of his death and that the bar has been in good standing with TABC for its five years of existence. <\/p>\n<p>Stokke said the TABC spoke with Drake\u2019s family to see if they wanted a heavy fine or the cancelation of the permit as they made their decision. Additional information was expected to be released soon by the TABC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONGVIEW \u2014 The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission has closed their investigation into Longview\u2019s Lodge Sports Bar and Billiards stemming from the July beating death of a man outside the bar and will seek to cancel the bar\u2019s permit to sell liquor.
