In a felony hearing Friday against Molly’s Pub manager Jeffrey Basil, the defense portrayed the May 11 incident as a dispute between two drunks.

“It’s in a tavern. It’s at 2 o’clock in the morning. These things happen,” defense attorney Joel Daniels said. “We hope that Mr. Sager continues to improve and that he makes a full recovery. No one wants that more than this community, particularly myself and Mr. Basil.”
