“When they presented tonight, they didn’t even bring up the gunshots again. What has happened in the meantime, it’s gotten worse again. So, patience is wearing very thin, and I think everybody is seeing that,” said Steve Schwab, a Burleigh County Commissioner.

The owners of crossroads have until the end of this month to operate under their current liquor license.
