Emergency medical personel were called to Key Largo Hotel & Suites shortly after 1:00AM on Tuesday morning when a patron was found floating face down in the hotels pool. Hotel employees and guests feared the man was dead, but in fact he was passed out after a evening of drinking at the hotels swim up bar.

A unidentified man was arrested Wednesday afternoon at the Brass Parrot after punching a bartender. The perpetrator, rumored to be a local, was apparently angry about being served a “light drink.” The assault is the latest in a bizarre series of events that have occurred over the past few months as a result of the bar being accused of serving water downed or even alcohol free drinks. The Brass Parrot has been cleared by the GITX Alcohol Commission, but the controversy continues to plague the establishment.
