LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Louisville woman has been arrested after police say she and an accomplice brutally beat a bartender at a family restaurant and entertainment center because she didn't like the quality of her drink.
According to court documents, the incident began during the late night hours of Friday, April 2, at Main Event, a family bowling, arcade and entertainment center at 12500 Sycamore Station Place, near the interchange between I-64 and Blankenbaker Parkway.

Police say Pardue was there with a group who ordered drinks from the victim, a bartender employed with Main Event. When the drinks arrived, Pardue and the people in her group became angry, claiming that there was no alcohol in the drinks.
The bartender told them that there was alcohol in the drink and that she could add an additional shot, but it would be an extra charge.

At that point, police say members of the group became angry, and told the bartender they weren't paying any more money.

Police say there wasn't any more trouble until the last call later that night, when the bartender and two other employees went outside into the parking lot for a smoke break.

At that point, police say Pardue and an accomplice pulled up to them in a car and jumped out.

The accomplice asked Pardue, "What do you have to say now?" before repeatedly punching the bartender in the face, according to court documents.

Police say Pardue beat the woman in the face with an unidentified object, "knocking the victim back at least two feet and knocking her to the pavement."

Pardue and her accomplice then jumped in a vehicle and tried to drive away, according to police, but they were stopped by an off-duty corrections officer who intervened. That officer was able to get all of the suspects' identifications.

When confronted, police say Pardue admitted to being involved in the beating, but said the bartender initiated the confrontation because she was upset that she wasn't being tipped.

But a later review of surveillance video showed the suspects following the bartender outside when she walked out, according to court documents.

The bartender was taken to the hospital. Police say she suffered a crushed nose, a broken septum and a broken orbital wall. She also sustained four cuts to her face, requiring 12 stitches. She had to have reconstructive surgery to repair the damage to her face, with four plates put in her face and eye socket.

The eight-member Oklahoma City Public Schools Board of Education on Monday unanimously denounced a new law signed by Gov. Kevin Stitt that implicitly bans the teachings of critical race theory from being included in the state's public school curriculum.

Board member Ruth Veales, who is Black and Native American, argued the legislation was attempting to quiet discussions regarding race "in order to protect White fragility."

"As a district that's over 80% students of color, this is definitely an insult," Veales, who is the longest serving board member going on 12 years, said at the meeting also livestreamed online. "It is a situation that is so egregious to me."

Bill Maher has tested positive for coronavirus.

In a tweet from the official "Real Time with Bill Maher" account, it was announced that the 65-year-old comedian has tested positive for the novel virus, resulting in Friday's May 14 taping of his show to be canceled.

"Bill tested positive during weekly staff PCR testing for COVID," read the announcement. "He is fully vaccinated and as a result is asymptomatic and feels fine."

The statement added that the show's production has "taken every precaution following CDC guidelines."

No other staff or crew members have tested positive at this time," the statement assured. "The show will be rescheduled at a later date."

Reps for the star did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.

As he often is, Maher has been vocal about his thoughts on the coronavirus pandemic, recently slamming blue states for keeping schools closed.

In his closing monologue in April, Maher took aim at the media's "panic porn" during the pandemic, citing a Dartmouth study showing that "nearly 90 percent" of U.S. national media coverage was negative in comparison to other countries even as conditions were getting better.

"[Democrats] also have a greatly exaggerated view of the danger of COVID to and the mortality rate among children, all of which explains why today the states with the highest share of schools that are still closed are all blue states," Maher lamented. "So if the right-wing media bubble has to own things like climate change denial, shouldn't liberal media have to answer for 'How did your audience wind up believing such bunch of crap about COVID?'"

Maher also pointed to a Gallup survey that showed the vast majority of Democrats incorrectly overestimate the probability of being hospitalized from COVID, with 41 percent believing it's at least 50 percent while only 10 percent of Democrats correctly said that the probability is only 1-to-5 percent while 26 percent of Republicans said the same, stressing that Democrats were "wildly off on this key question."


When all of our sources for medical information have an agenda to spin us, yeah, you wind up with a badly misinformed population, including on the left," Maher told viewers. "Liberals often mock the Republican misinformation bubble ... but what about liberals? You know, the high-information, by-the-science people?"

New York City police are looking for the group of men who are believed to have attacked at least four different people – slashing three of them – during a 12-minute violence spree on Friday morning in the Big Apple's subway, as officials tell Fox News: "Enough is enough."

The terrifying string of attacks highlights what city transportation officials are calling a need for more uniformed police officers in the subway system, despite how Mayor de Blasio has pushed the idea that the prevalence of crime will decrease with the increased presence of riders as coronavirus pandemic restrictions begin to lift.

Escape from NY:

According to the article when it was originally published, it contained the following quote:
"Investigators are still looking for the suspects, whom victims described as being two to three men, one with dreadlocks, police said."
This is not much to go on, EXCEPT the description of "dredlocks."

A group of men who are believed to have attacked at least four different people – slashing three of them – during a 12-minute violence spree on Friday morning in the Big Apple's subway, as officials tell Fox News: "Enough is enough."

The terrifying string of attacks highlights what city transportation officials are calling a need for more uniformed police officers in the subway system, despite how Mayor de Blasio has pushed the idea that the prevalence of crime will decrease with the increased presence of riders as coronavirus pandemic restrictions begin to lift.

The suspects were taken into custody on Friday afternoon, though their identities were not yet released, according to authorities. New York City police nabbed four people in connection with the attack, spotting and arresting them in the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Officials said one of the suspects had been arrested for a similar crime in January and was released without bond at the time.
The first of Friday’s incidents was reported around 4:25 a.m., when a 44-year-old man riding a southbound No. 4 train was approached by two men, one of whom slashed him in the face, police said. The victim got off the subway at Manhattan’s Union Square Station.
But his attackers are believed to have stayed on board and carried out their next attack only minutes later, at approximately 4:34 a.m., when the two suspects allegedly approached a 40-year-old man and also slashed him in his face, police said. They then moved on to a second man – the third victim of the morning – whom they purportedly punched in the face, police said.

Both men exited the train in the area of Astor Place, according to police – an area known to be busy and full of college students.
he suspects then allegedly moved on to another 44-year-old man, who, around 4:37 a.m., was slashed in the back of the head, cops said. The victim described his attackers as two to three men.

The suspects then demanded money from the man before taking his phone and throwing it on the train tracks, police said. He got off the train at the Brooklyn Bridge Station.

Another person went to police in the Bronx around 5 a.m. to report that he was also confronted by three men who stabbed him in the eye and slashed him in the neck and back, according to authorities. The man, 48, told police the attack happened in the area of Columbus Circle.
n a statement provided to Fox News on Friday morning, New York City Transit Authority interim President Sarah Feinberg called all five incidents "very serious."
"All seemingly could have been prevented by a uniformed presence on each of these platforms. The responsibility for these vicious attacks does not fall on an already strapped police department – it falls on City Hall and the individuals who are taking advantage of the mayor’s negligence on the issue," Feinberg said. "If he needed a wake-up call, this is it. Enough is enough. The mayor is risking New York’s recovery every time he lets these incidents go by without meaningful action."

When asked about New York City subway safety during a news conference on Monday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he views crime in the subway system "as a major problem" and said he believed the solution was to deploy more police into the subways.

"It is irrefutable that there are serious crimes in the subway system. It is irrefutable that there are emotionally disturbed people in the subway system who can do violence and have done violence," said the Democratic governor, an outspoken opponent of the Democratic mayor. "It is irrefutable that there has been a degradation of the situation in the stations."

SUSPECTED TIMES SQUARE SHOOTER IS CAREER CRIMINAL WITH A LENGTHY RAP SHEET

Feinberg concurred with Cuomo’s statements at the time, adding her belief that there "are not very many people at this point who believe or suggest that this is not what’s needed at this moment."

"The mayor has said he doesn’t think additional policing is necessary … Certainly, our leadership and certainly our customers who we hear from are saying they absolutely want a more significant police presence, a uniformed presence, and mental health resources," Feinberg said. "And I think if you ride the system on a regular basis, if you’re in the system day and night like so many of us are, it’s not really up for debate."
She noted that her office is often in contact with City Hall regarding the issue. In February, the NYPD announced it had deployed more than 600 additional officers into the subway system following a surge in violence in transit, on top of the 2,500 cops already assigned. De Blasio has said he has not pulled any of those officers from their roles in the subways.

Feinberg said de Blasio was "not necessarily in touch with our ridership" and added: "I just don’t think he has his finger on the pulse of our ridership right now and I think that I do."

But during a segment on NY1’s "Inside City Hall" on Monday night, de Blasio pushed the idea that the city is "coming back, which everyone can see before their eyes."

"And more and more people are taking the subways, which is a fact. And this is going to add up to something good," he said.

The Wall Street Journal reported last week that the Mayor’s Office was launching a program that would match city employees who would be traveling to work on subways with "travel buddies" to commute with.

During the Monday NY1 segment, show host Errol Louis referenced the report and asked: "If everything is fine, why should people be buddying up?"
