Riley Pressure‘s dying just isn’t the fault of the bars that served him whereas he was clearly intoxicated … so says the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Fee.
The TABC launched its findings Thursday after a months-long investigation, and it says it discovered no clear proof by way of eyewitnesses, interviews, or digicam footage to recommend bartenders served him booze whereas he was visibly drunk.
TABC lays out the timeline of the night time intimately, in response to a number of of Riley’s fraternity brothers … who say the group went from Miranda Lambert‘s bar to Garth Brooks‘ place earlier than strolling into Luke Bryan‘s for the primary time.
After hanging there for a bit, they went to Child Rock‘s place, however then determined to return to Luke Bryan’s. One in every of Riley’s frat bros instructed investigators by that time Riley had consumed at the least 7 drinks, and was slurring his speech … in order that they obtained him 2 waters.
In line with the report, Riley tried to shut out a tab — which he did not even have — and the bartender then instructed safety to eject him from the bar.
