Angry Villager arrested after cut off from booze at town square bar

Larry Pogue

A 75-year-old Villager was arrested after he was cut off from alcohol at a drinking establishment at Spanish Springs Town Square.

Larry Hale Pogue, of the Village of Santo Domingo, is facing charges of disorderly intoxication and resisting arrest after getting “verbally aggressive” toward employees at McCall’s Tavern, according to an arrest report from the Lady Lake Police Department.

Officers were called at about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday after he was cut off at the bar and began saying “offensive things and causing a scene.” Bouncers removed him from the bar until law enforcement arrived.

Pogue was taken into custody and booked at the Lake County Jail. He was released after posting $1,000 bond.

He had been arrested June 26, 2015 after he allegedly punched a man and insulted a supporter of the LGBT community who he accused of taking his seat near the gazebo at Spanish Springs Town Square. When police officers found Pogue, he was so intoxicated that he had to be transported by ambulance to The Villages Regional Hospital.

Pogue had been arrested in February 2015 on a charge of disorderly intoxication at American Legion Post 347. He pleaded no contest to that charge and was sentenced to six months probation and fined $150.
