M&R Station owner called before Wausau alders over unreported parking-lot shooting

By Shereen Siewert | Wausau Pilot & Review Wausau alders have called M&R Station’s owner to appear before them Monday to explain how he will prevent further violence after an August parking-lot shooting police say staff never reported. The appearance before the Public Health and Safety Committee is what city code calls a formal expression of concern. Wausau’s alcohol ordinance requires the committee to call in any licensee that accumulates 100 or more demerit points in a 12-month period. M&R Station is the only tavern on the police department’s current demerit list to reach that mark. In an Oct. 27 letter, City Clerk Rachel Brown told owner Rick Gordon that committee members “will be expecting dialogue from management.” She also asked for a summary of the incidents behind the committee’s concerns and of “the steps you have taken or plan to take to prevent further incidents from occurring.” Gordon has not responded to previous requests for comment.
