Police: Man unhappy with karaoke song pulls gun in bar

PORTER — Police have charged a bar customer with intimidation after they say pulled out a gun over the song choice of a karaoke performer.

It happened early Wednesday at Leroy's Hot Stuff on U.S. 20 in Porter.

According to our newsgathering partners at The News Dispatch, Jason Allen Huff, 34, was being held at the Porter County Jail on a felony intimidation charge.

Officers went to the bar when callers told dispatchers someone was threatening people with a gun.

According to a report, "police arrived to find a woman outside a car with a gun, saying the man in the car, Huff, was her cousin, a veteran who suffered from PTSD."

Police were eventually able to handcuff the man. The officer's report said Huff "was so intoxicated it was difficult to communicate with him.”

The police report said employees of the business told officers Huff "became upset at a song choice by the singer” and that Huff fell down as he attempted to "go after" the singer,

As bar patrons tried to help Huff, police say he pulled out a gun and began waving it around.

Huff was first taken to a hospital to be medically cleared before going to jail. A hospital blood draw reported Huff's blood alcohol level at .380, according to police.
