KALAMAZOO, MI Police are investigating after a woman in a viral video alleged that more than a dozen people were drugged at a bar near Western Michigan University’s campus.
Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety Chief Vernon Coakley Jr. responded with a video statement on Thursday, April 15, saying several detectives have been assigned to investigate the allegations of “drink tampering” at Y Bar in Kalamazoo.
