It came to the attention of the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights that an incident was captured on a digital recorder in which a number of African Americans appeared to be denied access to Susie's Bottoms Up Bar and Grill. On April 30, 2012, George Stinson, chair of the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights, initiated a commission complaint against the establishment and its owner. On July 10, 2012, Naquan Thurman, an African American who was allegedly denied access to Susie's during the incident, filed a complaint against the establishment and its owner, Susan M. Riggle. In his complaint, Thurman claimed: "I am a black male residing in Hodgenville, LaRue County, Ky. On April 5, 2012, the respondent's door attendant denied me entrance into the respondent's establishment and told me that 'no blacks' were being allowed in that evening." Later, after Susie's was sold, Thurman amended his two complaints to include the new purchasers, Chris Gribbins and Broken Spoke Bar and Grill, LLC, as potentially liable parties. As the result of the commission investigation, it was determined that probable cause existed to believe that unlawful discrimination may have occurred at Susie's against Thurman. The cases were set for an administrative hearing in September 2013. Since all three cases arose out of the same basic facts and circumstances, they were consolidated for purposes of further litigation. Prior to the hearing, the parties decided to resolve the matters with conciliation agreement. The respondents affirmed they will not discriminate against any individual based on any protected class and shall comply with the Kentucky and U.S. Civil Rights acts. They agreed to compensate Naquan Thurman in the amount of $10,000.00 for damages, including embarrassment and humiliation. (This compensation was paid by Riggle. The respondents, Fifth Wheel Bar and Grill, LLC and Susan M. Riggle, (Individually and d/b/a Susie's Bottoms Up Bar & Grill, LLC) each agreed to submit to civil rights law compliance monitoring by the commission stating whether they are engaged in any business enterprise consisting of serving food or drink or providing entertainment to the public. If they are, or become so engaged, they must report any claims of discrimination and submit to anti-discrimination training.
