The lawsuit was filed in the St. Clair County Circuit Court by Richard Blow against John Brisk, Mary Brisk, Cutters Goose Inc., also known as Cutter's, and Keary Rauch.
According to the complaint, Blow alleges he was at Cutter's in Belleville on Feb. 26, 2023, when Rauch became intoxicated, struck the plaintiff, and knocked him down. Blow alleges John and Mary Brisk sold or gave alcohol to Rauch, which led to his intoxication and alleged violent behavior.

He also claims to have experienced pain and suffering in the past and expects it to continue in the future.

The plaintiff alleges the defendants were negligent and seeks damages for his injuries.
Blow is seeking a judgment in his favor for an amount exceeding $50,000 from each defendant, along with costs of suit and any other relief deemed appropriate by the court. He is represented by attorney Morgan Hermanson of Mattea Hermanson.
