BG Police respond after people allegedly wearing Nazi symbols banned from bar – BG Independent News

Bowling Green Police Division was called to a downtown bar Saturday around 1 a.m. after some people allegedly wearing clothing with Nazi symbols came into the establishment. BGPD Deputy Chief Adam Skaff reported Monday that the people were asked to leave Howard’s Club H, and reportedly exited the business. Multiple police officers responded to the bar, and advised the people wearing the “hateful” clothing that the business owners did not want them back inside. The police division was called about 10 minutes later because the people would not leave the sidewalk in front of Howard’s. The police advised that they could not make the people leave a public sidewalk.  Officers were called again after closing time at 2 a.m., since those inside the bar were concerned that the people asked to leave were at the exits of the business. Downtown cameras showed that no one was at the doors, but a couple officers returned to the bar to escort people out. Skaff said during the incident, police maintained a strong presence in the downtown area. Dispatchers monitored the downtown cameras, officers patrolled on foot by the bar, and marked police vehicles were visible in the downtown. Video showed three people who were asked to leave the bar, exited the establishment, two after 51 seconds, and one after 10 seconds.
