$336.4 million Powerball jackpot unclaimed
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., March 26 (UPI) -- A Grand Rapids, Mich., barbershop owner said the state attorney general's office has put a stop to a promotion that offered patrons a free beer with a haircut.
Thomas Martin, owner of Jude's Barbershops, said an assistant attorney general ruled that his businesses cannot distribute free brews without a liquor license, the Grand Rapids (Mich.) Press reported Wednesday.
The ruling came after police told Martin his free beer promotion violated state and local laws.
"I'm glad we finally got clarity on the issue," Martin said. "Offering a complimentary beer is not something that we created, it's an old-fashioned service that was done years ago. We just brought it back with the other old-fashioned services that we provide." Martin said he plans to work with state legislators to legalize the complimentary booze service.
