HARRISBURG—After repeated warnings from mayor Eric Gregg over the past two or so years, it appears threats of shutting the place down have had zero impact on the fights initiating in Poor Boys in Harrisburg.
Poor Boys
Sources have confirmed that a 21-year-old man was Lifeflighted to Evansville after starting a fight at Poor Boys in Harrisburg.
The fight broke out around 10:35pm Sunday night and involved two other men, from what we’re being told.
Last year, after Brandon Bebout was nearly beaten to death while patrons watched and did nothing, then unceremoniously dumped on the parking lot of the biker bar, Gregg sent out stern messages to all liquor license holders in the city that such fights would not be tolerated. However, since that time, fights continue unabated, with no action taken toward the bars at all, especially Poor Boys, owned by Jim Watson and a shell corporation that involves attorney/former mayor Robert Wilson, which should say it all.
Condition of the victim is unknown at this time; keep checking back as we are seeking updates.
