Deputies nab nude bartender

DELHI, Ill., Sept. 21 (UPI) -- Illinois sheriff's deputies got an unexpected eyeful during a routine bar check last week -- the female bartender was allegedly pouring stiff ones in the nude.

Authorities in Jersey County say deputies were checking up on the Cabin Tavern in Delhi, Ill., 35 miles north of St. Louis Thursday afternoon when they walked in and allegedly found bartender Janet Brannon tending bar minus clothing, the Alton (Ill.) Telegraph reported.

Since Brannon, 33, of East Alton, Ill., was the only employee present, deputies closed the bar and arrested her on an outstanding warrant from Jerseyville, the newspaper said. She was charged with public indecency and jailed on $8,000 bond, prosecutors said.

"In addition to the charges against the bartender, the county will also seek charges against the owners of the Cabin Tavern," Jersey County State's Attorney Ben Goetten told the Telegraph.
