Manager: Personnel acted quickly against fight

The number of fights that actually occur at Brothers is "blown out of proportion," said manager Jeff Lubinski. "There aren't any more fights here than at any other bars."

WINONA, Minn., Feb. 21, 2002 -- Bouncers at Brothers Bar won't have added security responsibilities following a bathroom assault that has led to a felony charge against an underage drinker, said managers. "We have bouncers walking throughout the bar all night looking for drugs, stealing and fights, and they go into the bathrooms when they can," said Jeff Lubinski, a manager. Anne Shelgren Juaire, 20, was charged with third-degree assault for the Jan. 3 fight. On the night of the assault, an employee at the bar went into the bathroom after being told a woman was injured. The employee carried out their responsibilities, according to Lubinski. Employee dealing with fights are to call 911 immediately, to make sure the bouncers and people involved are OK, and to provide any immediate attention they're capable of if it's needed, according to Lubinkski. Fights are broken up as soon as they start, said Lubinski: "If you see a fight and you work here, it's your responsibility to break it up."
