The investigation into Adams Mill, where sophomore Laura Treanor drank the night she died of alcohol poisoning, is still pending after nearly five months, a D.C. Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration spokesperson said Wednesday.
ABRA Director Frederick Moosally said in late January that the board would see the report from the investigation at ABRA’s weekly board meeting either Feb. 3 or Feb. 10. But because of the snow, the board meeting was pushed back.
“We didn’t have a board meeting last week because of Snowmageddon so everything’s been pushed back a little bit so there’s no actual official date yet of submission to the board yet, however it is coming up,” ABRA spokesperson Bill Hager said.
ABRA launched the investigation in October, in response to questions regarding the death of 19-year-old student Treanor, who drank at Adams Mill before the night she died of alcohol poisoning in her Ivory Tower room in January of 2009.
This is the second major investigative report into the bar, located in Adams Morgan, in recent months. The bar has been the subject of a number of investigations over the past several years, according to documents obtained by The Hatchet by a Freedom of Information Act request. Previously, the bar was fined $12,000 and given a consecutive 10-day suspension last January for serving overly intoxicated patrons, which it served just more than a week before Treanor died.
The report will not be made public until the ABRA board reviews it. If the board decides to take action against Adams Mill, the case will be reviewed by the D.C. Attorney General’s Office.
