Owl Club

UNWARRANTED PHYSICAL AGGRESSION FROM ONE OF THE SECURITY OFFICERS It was nearing the end of the night, I needed to step out of the bar for a moment. I decided it was time to leave so I proceeded to go back inside to retrieve my debit card, which was still in possession of the bartenders. The security guard Rileigh told me I was not allowed back inside. I politely told him I just needed to go back in and close out my tab. I was not intoxicated. I would never drive intoxicated, especially being in EMS and witnessing the consequences. I’m very responsible with making sure I am sober long before I drive. That being said, once again I politely told the security guard that I just needed to go inside to retrieve debit card and close out my tab. He told me I was not allowed in, and also I could not go get my card. I’m sure he suspected that I was lying, or why wouldn’t I be allowed in to retrieve my card? So I proceeded to go around him, I did not touch him. I told him that I just needed to get my card. This is when he grabs my upper arms aggressively. He was gripping me so hard that it was actually painful. I asked him why he was grabbing me. He released me and I went into get my card and pay out my tab. I also have witnesses that saw it who asked me if I was OK afterward because they recognized that he was way too aggressive and he did not need to put his hands on me. Legally he is not allowed to touch me unless I am posing a treat, which I was not. I have witnesses. I honestly hope this bar has surveillance cameras. There was no need for that much aggression, I was not a threat in any way. There was no need to touch me in the first place. I was not aggressive, combative, loud, ect. It really scared me and I do NOT feel safe going to this bar. I simply wanted to get my card, close out my tab and leave. I will be taking this further. He broke the law by putting hands on me. If he is not fired, I am fully prepared to take legal action against this business. I will be filing an report against that security guard.
