(( Democratic Party executive director Craig Bieber and the grandson of Norfolk Democratic state Senator Stanley Walker lead a 2:30 a-m party of five to the 10th floor meeting room of the Senate Finance Committee.
That's after telling a police officer they "were going to reminisce the previous days of the General Assembly in the Senator's sixth floor office."
The officer smells alcohol.
The officer checks in on the party 45 minutes later and hears the subjects "speaking as if they were having a meeting, saying such things as 'point of order.'"
The officer tells them "play time is over."
A lot of gavel banging had ensued-- causing what Senate officials estimate to be up to 200 dollars worth of damage.
Another warning 30 minutes later and the party breaks up.
The officer notices an unnamed individual who "held a bottle with a Wild Turkey label on it."
So Democratic Party Chairman Ken Plum says party director Craig Bieber has been reprimanded.
Similar "incidents in the future will be cause for his dismissal."
And Bieber "has taken steps to deal with an alcohol-related problem.
That treatment is a mandatory condition of his future employment
