The bar where Jose Fernandez and his 2 friends were last
seen partying and drinking before the fatal boat crash will NOT be investigated
for possibly over serving the group ... officials tell TMZ Sports.
In many states, bars can be held criminally liable if they
over serve a patron who is obviously intoxicated, if that patron gets in a car
crash or something like it as a result of being drunk, But not in Florida.
In fact, when we reached out to the Florida Department of
Business and Professional Regulation to find out if they would be investigating
American Social in Miami, here's what we were told:
"American Social does not have any pending complaints
and is not under investigation by DBPR’s Division of Alcoholic Beverages and
Tobacco."
The rep added, "There are no Florida laws pertaining to
the over service of alcoholic beverages, thus an investigation has not been
initiated as a result of the findings in this incident."
Officials have said Fernandez and the other 2 victims reeked
of booze when they were pulled from the crash scene and a receipt for alcohol
from American Social was discovered in one of the victim's pockets. It's still
unclear who was driving the boat at the time of the incident.
