ROCKLEDGE, Pa. (CBS) — Police are investigating an incident involving Pennsylvania State Rep. Kevin Boyle at a Montgomery County bar earlier this month.
According to Rockledge Police Chief John Gallagher, officers responded to the Gaul & Co. Malt House on Huntington Pike around 12:15 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 8 after learning a man inside the bar was allegedly threatening to hit female employees.
The man, later identified as Pennsylvania State Rep. Kevin Boyle, was reportedly drunk and possibly under the influence of drugs, police said.
At the bar, police learned that Boyle, a Democrat representing parts of Northeast Philadelphia and Montgomery County in District 172, was asked to leave multiple times but refused, and then allegedly started to threaten the employees. Police said eventually he left, but came back a short time later.
According to Chief Gallagher, no one was injured and the staff involved told police they didn’t want to press charges against Boyle, but just wanted him removed from the bar. Responding officers told Boyle he was banned from the bar and ordered him to leave, at which point he walked away.
