PANAMA CITY, Fla. — A man says he was badly beaten by a Panhandle bartender after refusing to put on a shirt.
Panama City police say they are investigating the alleged beating, which happened Sunday at the Oasis Lounge.
The News Herald of Panama City reports a caller from the bar told police that the bartender had to subdue a belligerent customer.
