Alderman Chris Wery believes the Oval Office broke the law handing out free alcohol to the public. However, the strip club's owner says Wery's allegations are false. The tailgate party was this past Sunday on 11 acres of land, near Lambeau Field, belonging to the DeCaster family. Wery's accusations are based off an Oval Office advertisement in last week's Entertainer newspaper. State law prohibits giving away liquor or beer if it's being done to avoid selling it without a license.
DeCaster says the free alcohol was only given to friends. She says the ad for free alcohol was a reminder for her friends. DeCaster also showed FOX 11 pictures of the party trailer, saying it is a semi-trailer with hydraulics that allow it to open.
The picture shows the trailer opens up, basically acting as an open-air bar. DeCaster says the trailer has been used at the Green Bay Police Department's golf outing for at least the past six years. Wery has submitted a request to rezone the area - including the DeCasters' land on Tony Canadeo Run - so a strip club can't be built there.
However, the DeCasters say they have no plans right now to build one. FOX 11 asked Wery if his accusations have anything to do with his request to rezone the DeCasters' land.
Wery is now asking the city to review the Oval Office's liquor and adult entertainment licenses. The Village of Ashwaubenon sent DeCaster a letter last September, asking her to stop serving alcohol from the trailer to the public. At that time, the trailer was parked on Oneida Street. DeCaster says the village eventually found no issues with what they were doing. We reached out to the village to confirm that, we have not yet heard back.
