Mike Porter, the owner of One-Eyed Jakes, 18-20 S. Clinton St., announced Wednesday that Curtis John Fry was removed from his establishment by bar staff at 12:36 a.m. on Feb. 7 - just seven minutes after he and his group arrived and just 36 minutes after he became legal to purchase alcohol, a review of security tapes shows. Bar staff denied Fry re-entry two minutes later.
