A drug deal goes bad and a guy in killed in an Upper Darby "nuisance" bar. Chief Chitwood blames the LCB for not closing down the place sooner.
“This place is a shoot ’em up joint for drugs and weapons,” Chitwood said. “It really is a criminal enterprise.”
The owner of Cheers bar is a piece of work named Bob Herdelin. A former college basketball star and a Jersey shore real estate magnate, Herdelin made news a couple years ago when he tackled and helped apprehend a guy on the U.S. Marshal's most wanted list.
Despite his wealth, Herdelin prefers the company of the rough-and-tumble crowd in a bar where everbody knows his name.
The LCB has made it clear Herdelin's license will not be renewed.
Chitwood wants the LCB to be tougher when it comes to nuisance bars. That's understandable. But due process is due process.
