AB InBev may be pushing small and independent craft brewers
off the shelves, but AB heir, Billy Busch, got a little more personal when he
allegedly bloodied a child’s nose at a basketball game at his son’s school.
According to a St. Louis newspaper, Riverfront Times, Busch,
who is the great grandson of Anheuser-Busch co-founder, Adolphus Busch, is
facing an assault charge for “allegedly manhandling a sixth grader at his son’s
school.” The incident occurred in November 2017, after Busch’s 11-year-old son was
bullied by another boy and Busch took aggressive measures to stop it.
A police report says that “Mr. Busch pushed [the boy] into a
wall at the base of a stairwell resulting in [the boy] hitting the back of his
head against the wall. At that time, [the boy’s] nose began to bleed.”
Referring to video footage, the police report continues, “Busch is seen
grabbing [the boy] once more and forcing him backwards out of the gymnasium
into the lobby. At this point, [the boy] appears to take a swing at Busch in an
effort to get away. Busch is seen pushing [the boy] backwards and pinning him
against a wall.”
Interestingly, Busch has a history of alleged aggression.
According to Riverfront Times, in 1981 he bit off another man’s earlobe during
a bar fight. The following year, he was charged with assault for reaching
through a drive-thru window and punching a worker in the throat.
Busch managed to escape the charges in both of these cases.
We believe repercussions are definitely needed after beating up a child.
And by the way, Busch: Kräftig is not going to happen.
