Bar Incident: ‘I’m Rich, You’re Poor’

After his credit card was declined, an Edina man jumped over the railing of the Wild Bill’s patio, was caught by staff, and while being held on the ground yelled, “I’m rich, you’re poor,” according to a Woodbury police report.

The incident happened at about 2 a.m. June 29.

According to the report:

Police were called about an unruly customer at Wild Bill’s Sports Saloon.

Upon arrival, officers learned a man had attempted to get bottle service, was told he could not, and purchased several shots and drinks.

He left his credit card and left the establishment, and his card was declined.

A Wild Bill’s manager found the man nearby at Sunsets and asked him to come back and settle his tab.

He went back to Wild Bill’s and became disorderly, yelling and swearing at staff and trying to flee when his card was declined again.

He jumped over a partition to run away, but staff tracked him down and held him to the ground. He was yelling: “I’m rich, you’re poor. … I can do what I want.”

Management wanted him trespassed and did not pursue disorderly conduct or theft charges. He was transported to detox.
