BAR NAMED IN STUDENT'S DEATH

LANSING, MICHIGAN -- Michigan Atty. Gen. Frank Kelley said Thursday he had
filed an administrative complaint against an East Lansing bar where a
university student drank for 90 minutes before dying of alcohol poisoning.

The four-count complaint was filed with the Michigan Liquor Control
Commission against Rick's American Cafe in Bradley McCue's death on his 21st
birthday.

Authorities say McCue, a Michigan State University student from Clarkston,
drank 24 shots of liquor until about 1:30 a.m. Nov. 5, when a Rick's worker
told McCue to leave because he was drunk.

Friends took McCue home, helped him into bed and wrote "24 shots" in red
marker on his face. He later was found dead with a blood-alcohol level four
times Michigan's legal limit for driving.

The complaint alleges that Rick's violated state laws and commission rules.
Among them: providing alcohol to an intoxicated person, allowing such a
person to consume alcohol on the premises and giving away alcohol.
