ORONO POLICE DEPARTMENT INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />TO: MR. RON MOORSE <br />FROM: CHIEF STEPHANY GO <br />SUBJECT: PAUL ODE, LIQUOR LICENSE INVESTIGATION <br />DATE: 3/19/2004 <br />CC: FILE <br />The police department has completed the licensing investigation in regard to Paul Ode, <br />DBA Navarre Lanes (Paul N. Ode, 5040 Enchanted Rd. Mound, MN. 44364) <br />We found that Mr. Ode failed to supply information required to process his application in a <br />timely manner from the beginning of Ids request for a license. He failed to meet deadlines in <br />producing liquor liability insurance and workers compensation insurance. The credit history <br />report was not provided when requested. The bank reference was not provided when <br />requested. <br />On his liquor license application, Mr. Ode indicated he had never been arrested or detained. <br />He indicated he had never been convicted of a crime. He indicated that he had never had a <br />license or permit revoked or denied. Police records indicate that he has been arrested diree <br />times for DWI, with two convictions. His driver ’s hcense was revoked on 3/12/86,5/1/93, <br />and 9/13/99. <br />On 2/18/03, at Paul Ode ’s request, staff met with him to provide an opportunity for him to <br />respond to our concerns. His response included a number of rationales for some of the <br />inaccurate application information, and for a number of financial difficulties he has had. He <br />did not address the false information on the application regarding past arrests, detentioos, <br />and siispensioas. <br />The fact that Mr. Ode has had three alcohol-related arrests, the last one being as recent as <br />1999, and that he provided false information regarding these arrests on the application, leads <br />the Police Department to have substantial concerns regarding authorizing Mr. Ode to <br />operate a liquor esublishment On that basis, the Police Department recommends denial of <br />the liquor license.
