Texas police killed a man who shot and killed eight people. More than a year later, a bartender was arrested for serving him before the shooting spree.
By Deanna Paul Deanna Paul Reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow May 6 at 7:53 PM Spencer Hight went on a shooting spree in September 2017. He got drunk at the Local Public House, a bar just a few blocks away from his ex-wife’s home, then stumbled through her door, heavily armed with a pistol, a semi-automatic rifle and a knife, police say.
In 2018, the Texas Alcohol and Beverage Commission issued a report concluding Glass violated the"Sale to Certain Persons” law by serving Hight, whose blood alcohol level was four times the state’s legal limit when he drove to his estranged wife’s house, according NBC Dallas Fort Worth. According to ABC affiliate WFAA, a lawsuit filed by the victims’ families alleged Glass told a colleague, Justin Banks, that Hight was “drunk and being weird” and brandished a gun inside the bar. When Banks escorted Hight to the parking lot, court documents said Banks asked him to leave his weapons behind and should let Banks drive him home because he wasn’t sober.
“There are allegations Hight foreshadowed what he would do and Lindsey Glass felt something was wrong,” Palmer told The Post. “Lindsey is the person who called 911. Not only did she know Spencer, but she was friends with Meredith and was supposed to be at the party that evening,” he said, noting that the detectives commended Glass for saving lives that day.
