‘You got to quit drinking’ bar owner tells Elk Grove City Councilmember arrested for drunk driving by Elk Grove Police

Owner of Bob’s Bar in Old Town gives stern advice

Developing story |
Combining fatherly advice, empathy, and tough love, the owner of a popular Elk Grove Bar also warned an Elk Grove City Council member.
That advice was given by Allan Veto, the owner of Bob’s Bar in Old Town Elk Grove, to City Councilmember Sergio Robles. On Saturday, May 20, Robles was arrested by Elk Grove Police for drunk driving after he was found passed out in a running vehicle in the Raley’s parking lot on Elk Grove Boulevard.
Videos on social media showed Robles at the AAPI Night market on the evening of Friday, May 19. People attending the event report Robles was given a VIP pass with unlimited free alcoholic drinks (see second video below).
Vito offered empathy to Robles, saying people make mistakes and that he should learn to rebuild the community’s trust. However, he also provided stern advice to the 30-year-old.
“You got to quit drinking, is what I think you got to do,” the experienced bar owner said.
During his explanation of his arrest, Robles did not say he was willing to moderate or adjust his drinking habits which are now well documented.
