The children of a man who died in a car crash filed a lawsuit this week against Sherlock’s Baker Street Pub & Grill, the third recent suit claiming the establishment over-served patrons at various locations.
Lauren Whale and Stephen Wilhite, the children of Robert Wilhite, filed a petition Monday asking for damages in their father’s Aug. 13, 2011, death.
The lawsuit claims Baker Street continued to serve Wilhite alcohol, even though he was obviously intoxicated.
The suit states he left the bar drunk and drove his vehicle down Cypresswood Drive. He struck a raised curb, lost control of his vehicle and was ejected.
He died as a result of his injuries, the lawsuit states.
Wilhite’s children said the pub was negligent in giving their father alcohol.
Sherlock’s could not immediately be reached for comment.
