Locked In

Jersey City, New Jersey, April 9, 2010:

Drunk in a bar and can't get out...who you gonna call? Police.

That's what Ron did in Jersey City. The New Jersey Spew reported Ron called 911 Thursday and said he'd gotten drunk and passed out at Bennett's Karaoke Bar the night before, awakened, and had "a few more" -- then couldn't get out of the bar, which was closed.

Officers tapped on the door Thursday afternoon to guide the Ronatarian Party founder and leader to it so he could let them in to help him.

The bar owner said Ron is a "solid regular" who lives nearby. The barkeep stayed with him until 7:30 a.m. Thursday, then left figuring Ron would eventually let himself out and go home.

"Boy was I wrong," said the bartender. "That guy almost drank us out of our St. Patty's Day profits!"

Ron is recovering quietly at home; although he hinted at "painting the town tonight."
