Sheriff David Davis temporarily suspended the Thirsty Turtle s license for 90-days back in November Author: Ashlyn Webb (WMAZ) Updated: 11:22 PM EST March 1, 2021
MACON, Ga. It was just three months ago that two Bibb County deputies went into the Thirsty Turtle to notify the general manager their alcohol license was being suspended.
The sheriff s action was in response to a mass shooting that happened along Cherry Street in the early morning hours of Black Friday. The violence killed one woman and injured at least six others.
That order has now expired because the county commission did not take further action. General manager Matthew Obelgoner says they could be open their doors as soon as Thursday or Friday night.
