Police Cruiser Crashes into St. Louis Bar, Owner Charged: Conflicting Stories Emerge

Conflicting accounts have emerged after a police SUV crashed into a bar in south St. Louis. The police claim that the driver lost control and crashed into the bar after believing he was too close to a parked car. However, the bar owner's husband stated that the officer swerved to avoid hitting a dog. The owner confronted the officers, leading to a physical altercation and his subsequent arrest. The investigation is ongoing, and questions have been raised about impairment testing, the changing story, the charges against the bar owner, and the need for an independent investigation.
