Restaurant that served Hancock avoids penalty
St. Louis ? The Missouri Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Control will take no action against a restaurant that served St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Josh Hancock before the drunken-driving accident that led to his death.
In a report released Friday, the division said all information from witnesses indicated Hancock was “consuming intoxicating liquor in moderation” and was “very lucid” in the hours before he died.
A copy of the investigative report was turned over to St. Louis Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce for her review, alcohol control State Supervisor Peter Lobdell said in a statement.
