Dallas Cowboys stadium could lose liquor license over exec's arrest

State investigating arrest of Cowboy stadium general manager
By SUSAN SCHROCK

ARLINGTON � The Dallas Cowboys could be fined and the liquor-sales permit for the new stadium could be suspended if state investigators determine that the stadium�s general manager drank too much on opening night, officials said Friday.

The general manager, Jack Hill, 53, was arrested early Sunday on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.

His vehicle was involved in a minor collision on Randol Mill Road right outside the new Cowboys Stadium, hours after its inaugural event. No one was injured. Hill failed a field sobriety test and was arrested, police said.

Now the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission is investigating whether Hill consumed too much alcohol at the stadium.

"If an employee is intoxicated on a licensed premises, we can cancel or suspend the permit for that violation," said Capt. Charlie Cloud of the commission�s Dallas office.

5. Cowboys Stadium general manager won't lose job

DMN 6/15/09
Cowboys Stadium general manager won't lose job after DWI arrest
Monday, June 15, 2009
By JEFF MOSIER/ The Dallas Morning News

FORT WORTH � The Cowboys Stadium general manager will not lose his job because of a DWI arrest several hours after the end of the June 6 opening night concert, team owner Jerry Jones said Monday.

"Jack remains a really valuable employee," Jones said, after speaking at the Petroleum Club of Fort Worth.

(snip)

He said the team is also cooperating with an investigation by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. Officials with that agency said last week that an agent was investigating the arrest as a possible violation of rules against employees being intoxicated at a licensed business.

The top of the fine scale for such a civil violation would be $7,500.

I'm sure Jerry Jones is going to pay that fine real quick.
