The owner of a popular Buckhead bar where a man claimed he was drugged, kidnapped and robbed of more than $10,000 says he is ready to work with the police to put a stop to any criminal activity that targets his patrons.
Todd Pope, the owner of Five Paces Inn in Buckhead, told Channel 2′s Michael Seiden that he was stunned to learn what had happened, because he was never contacted by the victim or police.
The victim, 24-year-old Chandler Rebel, said he and his friend went to the bar in 2022, and he was then drugged, kidnapped and robbed of more than $10,000.

“Eventually I remember waking up in a bathroom,” Rebel told Seiden during a Zoom interview Thursday. “I wake up there. I’m throwing up blood, violently, rolling around on a bathroom floor.”
Chandler said he reported the crime to police but so far, no one has been arrested.
