Councilman Steps Down Following Controversial Incident Outside LGBTQ+ Bar

A councilman in Crescenta Valley has resigned from his position after a video surfaced showing him and another individual engaging in inappropriate behavior outside an LGBTQ+ bar in downtown Los Angeles. Chris Kilpatrick, a Town Councilmember, stepped down from his role after surveillance footage captured him and his companion urinating outside the employee entrance of Precinct, a popular bar on South Broadway. The incident occurred in the early hours of Saturday morning, as reported by the bar’s Instagram account.

The video shows Kilpatrick and the other man exiting the bar with cocktail glasses before relieving themselves on the glass doors of the establishment. An employee attempted to intervene and take away their drinks, leading to a confrontation where Kilpatrick allegedly pushed the employee to the ground.

Controversy Surrounding the Incident

Kilpatrick’s attorney, John Duran, has claimed that the bar employees approached the councilman and his partner aggressively without identifying themselves, prompting Kilpatrick to push back in self-defense. Duran suggested that Kilpatrick feared a potential threat of violence and acted accordingly.

Duran, who has faced his own share of controversies during his time on the West Hollywood City Council, defended Kilpatrick’s actions in this situation. Kilpatrick, who was elected to the Crescenta Valley Town Council in 2020, decided to resign from his position following the release of the surveillance video.

Response from the Crescenta Valley Town Council

The Crescenta Valley Town Council, which serves as an advisory body advocating for the community’s interests, learned about the incident through social media and promptly requested a statement from Kilpatrick. Before any formal meeting could take place, Kilpatrick expressed his intention to resign, which was accepted by the council leadership.

In a statement, the council acknowledged the inappropriate behavior captured in the video but also recognised Kilpatrick’s years of service and dedication to the community. Despite the resignation, the council expressed appreciation for Kilpatrick’s contributions over the years.

Legal Ramifications and Uncertainties

Public urination is not considered a criminal offence, according to Kilpatrick’s attorney. However, the alleged battery incident, where Kilpatrick pushed the bar employee, could potentially lead to misdemeanor charges. It remains unclear if the employee sustained any injuries during the altercation.

As the community processes the fallout from this incident, the Crescenta Valley Town Council will move forward with addressing the vacancy left by Kilpatrick’s resignation and continue its mission of serving the residents of the area.
