What Bar in Wisconsin Was Closed?
The El Cielo Bar, owned by Ruben Albanil Coyolt, had its license revoked by the Milwaukee Common Council. Coyolt has owned the bar for 9 years, but due to what was found at the location, and its history of complaints, city officials had no other choice.
What They Found in The Wisconsin Bar
Back in October, some shots were fired at the bar, and during the investigation, Milwaukee police found "cocaine, drug paraphernalia, a suspected drug sales ledger, and 9-millimeter cartridges." They also found 4 live chickens living in the basement.
Milwaukee allows people to keep up to four chickens on residential property, but the must live in an outside coop, and a permit from the city is required, Coyolt did neither.
Why Were There Chicken in The Bar?
According to CBS News, Coyolt replied "for eat" when asked why he had the chickens, the report goes on to say that he would bring the chickens up from the basement of the bar to his apartment above the bar, where he lived, and slaughtered the chickens. Regarding the "bowl of cocaine" found in the bar, Coyolt says it was not his.
