It was Christmas night 2020, and six friends, all underage, were at The Good Life Sports Bar & Grill near 180th and Pacific Streets, snacking on nachos, drinking beer and taking shots of alcohol.
As the night came to a close, at least one of the minors drove away from the bar and got into a high-speed crash in the Millard area, breaking three vertebrae and suffering other injuries.
In the following days, Omaha police officers, armed with a subpoena, attempted to obtain video from the bar to determine whether staff had followed the law in checking the minorsâ identification. But police said they faced resistance from owner Chad McMahon and other employees. By the time the equipment had been seized, video from that night had been deleted, according to police.
