Border Patrol boss Gregory Bovino tossed from Las Vegas bar

Former U.S. Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Gregory Bovino was reportedly asked to leave a Las Vegas bar out of safety concerns for the venue’s customers.

Days after being removed from his post in Minneapolis, Bovino headed to Sin City, where he was spotted drinking wine at the multi-level Bottled Blonde sports bar on the Las Vegas Strip.

A representative from the establishment told the Daily Beast that the 55-year-old officer is no longer welcome there.

“Upon becoming aware of the individual’s presence, the patron was asked to leave the premises and was escorted out by staff in accordance with venue policy to maintain a safe and orderly environment for all patrons,” the venue said.

Bottled Blonde did not provide further details other than describing itself as a private business that “does not engage in political activity or affiliations” and “reserves the right to refuse service to any patron at its discretion.”

Bovino was filmed chugging wine with a group of young men at the Bottled Blonde on Jan. 30. He was also photographed strolling the Strip with that same group after being booted from the venue, according to the Daily Beast. He has not responded to the outlet’s request for comment.

Made it home to El Centro yet, 'eh?

Fucking loser. Would be nice if he disappeared somewhere out there in the desert. There are plenty of SS&S folks out there who might take up the task if you let them know something needs to happen.

... has no concept of restraint. And he laughs like Rhonda Sepsis: Too much, too loud, and at things that are too wrong. But then, psychopaths can never accurately interpret social signals. Such niceties are beyond their comprehension.

I wouldn't think such a superAlphamale would/could/should be seen drinking wine. Beer, tequila, liquified paste, sure. All very "alpha manly man" drinks.

But wine? Wonder if it was french??? Or...*shudder* from Commiefornia!!!??1? Lol.

It's funny because he sucks.

Apparently the Sun is so short staffed it lacked an in house reporter for something going on within driving distance.
