Here's an interesting coincidence to ponder. 24-year old Baker Street Pub bartender Chelsea Wilburn was arrested four days ago, around 2:30 a.m. Saturday on a liquor violation charge. Around 2:30 this morning three men in a BMW sedan were involved in a single vehicle accident near Willowbrook Mall that resulted in the death of one passenger and a charge of intoxication manslaughter for the driver. Where had the BMW occupants allegedly been drinking before the fatal crash? Baker Street Pub.
Chelsea Wilburn arrest at Baker Street Pub: Montgomery County Assistant District Attorney Warren Diepraam, section chief of the vehicle crimes division, is proactively pursuing not just drunk drivers but the bars that over-serve them. Diepraam said Chelsea Wilburn was placed in jail and then released on $750 bond. Montgomery County's "Bar and Cars" task force was formed earlier this year to try to stem the tide of intoxication manslaughter charges, many of which involved high-profile wrong-way head-on crashes that resulted in multiple fatalities. Purportedly Ms. Wilburn was arrested after undercover officers posing as customers at Baker Street Pub observed her selling liquor to a man who was stumbling drunk and yelling racial epithets.

Willowbrook Mall fatal BMW crash: around 2:30 a.m. this morning Houston Police Department says Mr. Asif Aejaz, driver of a blue BMW sedan took a corner too fast near Willowbrook Mall at Tomball Parkway and FM 1960, jumping a curb and smashing through a metal and brick fence. The impact to the passenger side of the vehicle was apparently severe: the front seat passenger died at the scene. The rear seat passenger was taken to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries, and Asif Aejaz was not hurt.
According to Channel 11's story on the crash, Aejaz admitted to police that he and his passengers had been drinking at Baker Street Pub before the crash, but he refused a field sobriety test (however HPD took him to the hospital for a mandatory blood draw). It appears Aejaz has been charged with intoxication manslaughter. An article on Houston News 92 FM's site states this is not 41-year old Aejaz' first brush with the law. He has previously faced a sexual assault charge stemming from a May 15 incident where he is alleged to have drugged and date raped a woman he was having drinks with at...wait for it...Baker Street Pub near Willowbrook Mall.
