Utah Man Accused Of Running Old Fashioned Speakeasy In His Garage For 7 Years

SANDY — A Sandy man faces charges after police say he ran a speakeasy out of his garage and sold drinks to an undercover officer.

The Salt Lake Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/11JO0V1 ) 33-year-old Jared Williams has pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor charge of running a business without a license.

Records show a citizen told police in May about the so-called "Dog Bar," named for a bulldog painted on the garage door.

Police say they sent an undercover officer to the home in June, and found about 10 people there.

The man behind the counter identified himself as Jared and reportedly told the officer he had started the bar with his father in 2006.
