Hailey Resident, Mint Bar Reach New Heights of Fame after Bizarre Altercation

Bruce Willis' Mint Bar (which may have a limited future according to The Idaho Mountain Express) and Hailey resident Lori Brutsche-Ely may have just become more famous than either desired after a bizarre altercation with the police in the Mint's Chester Jakes restaurant on Halloween night.

KTVB Boise reports:

"Hailey Police say a woman battered a security guard, took off her clothes, punched two officers and bit a deputy. Now, Lori Brutsche-Ely, 41, faces several charges.

Hailey Police Chief Jeff Gunter tells NewsChannel 7 Brutsche-Ely was intoxicated Halloween night at the Chester Jakes restaurant in the Mint Bar when she got out of control."

Certainly an odd occurrence in the mostly sleepy Wood River Valley, but the event did not go unnoticed by one of the internet's most popular sites, the eponymous gossip blog of Perez Hilton. Yesterday, Perez inducted Brutsche-Ely's "amusing" mugshot into his Mugshot Hall of Fame (WARNING: Clicking on the previous link will subject you to mild vulgarity, unrepentant snarkiness and an entirely too pink background), catapulting Lori Brutsche-Ely and Willis' Mint Bar to the heights of internet infamy.
