Arrested: selling alcohol to minors

Arrest0 Comments

Houser is arrested and convicted on three counts of selling alcohol to a minor at Rusty’s Buckhead Pub. The bar is closed. After an unsuccessful fight with the city to reopen the bar, during which he flies a Nazi flag from the building, Houser leaves the area. Police:

He was pretty frustrated with the police department and the judicial system generally, and his response was he had a Nazi flag attached to his building. If it wasn’t the size of a sheet, it was pretty close…He was erratic, angry, short-tempered.
