NEWAYGO COUNTY, MI -- Former Newaygo County Administrator Tobi Lake allegedly made sexually disparaging comments to a female bartender and urinated on an outside bar wall after getting kicked out of the business, a police report shows. Lake, 43, earlier this week was charged with being drunk and disorderly -- the second alcohol-related offense lodged against him this summer. He was already facing a drunken driving charge stemming from a July 14 traffic stop in Newaygo. Lake allegedly had a blood-alcohol content of 0.20. He

and, on Wednesday, Newaygo County commissioners authorized $59,000 in severance pay in a controversial board vote. The Grand Rapids Press and MLive learned details about the drunk and disorderly charge through a Freedom of Information Act request on Friday, Aug. 28. A Newaygo City police report shows that several witnesses detailed how Lake and another man were at Newaygo Brewing Company on June 12 when they began making comments to a female bartender.

"They were making comments about getting another drink as well as a 'b--w job' and that they were too drunk and that she should drive them home and sleep with them," a police officer wrote from an interview with a different bartender. The bartender told police that Lake and his friend "were making all kinds of sexual comments to the female bartender," and that she became uncomfortable and took a work break. She wanted to leave early because of what an officer, in the report, described as harassment. Other witnesses at the bar reported Lake and the friend caused a disturbance because they were "making comments toward other employees and making a scene for the rest of the customers." They were asked to leave and got upset, but eventually left the bar after four workers formed a circle around them, according to the police report.

It was then that another bar worker saw Lake standing outside, next to a side door, urinating on a wall while leaning against a wooden barrel. The female bartender who garnered the attention of Lake and the friend told police that the men were "noticeably intoxicated" after being served two or three beers. She thought they had been drinking before going into Newaygo Brewing Company. The worker said Lake asked her if he could meet her out back and if she could give him a ride home. "She stated they were trying to get other men to harass the waitresses as well." The police report shows that Lake and the friend, after getting kicked out of Newaygo Brewing, then went to nearby Riverstop Saloon and allegedly caused a disturbance there, too. Witnesses told police they were confrontational with at least two people there, including one of the bartenders from Newaygo Brewing who was taking a break at Riverstop Saloon. "Lake and the other subject had wanted to fight him once they realized who he was," an officer wrote from his interview with the bartender. The report shows Lake and the friend, two weeks after getting kicked out of Newaygo Brewery, allegedly showed back up at the bar and caused another disturbance. The brewery owner told police the two began to "cuss and yell at him from outside" after being told again to leave because they were banned. While police were not able to interview Lake as part of the investigation because he wanted them to speak with his attorney, they did speak with his friend. The friend told an officer he did not think they were harassing the female bartender and that she was "flirting with him." He said he didn't know why they were asked to leave "because they weren't causing any problems." The cases against Lake are being handled by the Muskegon County prosecutor's office because of the potential for conflict of interest with Newaygo County prosecutors.
