Detroit Club Will Eat $126.16 Bill

Sources: Club Won't Pursue Charges Against Former Mayor

POSTED: Thursday, October 23, 2008
UPDATED: 7:34 pm EDT October 24, 2008

Rescue 4 has learned a Downtown Detroit establishment will not seek charges against former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick after sources said he dined and dashed.

Thursday, Rescue 4 obtained a receipt of Kilpatrick’s lunch at the Detroit Club.

Detroit Club is a private establishment, on Cass Avenue, known for hosting high-powered meetings by some of the city’s most influential leaders.

The lunch bill shows the meal cost $73.16. An additional $50 was added to the tab for the use of the club’s Directors Room, a private room on the fourth floor that was opened to accommodate Kilpatrick, sources said.

Kilpatrick Lunch Receipts

Every Detroit mayor is given an honorary membership to the club. However, Kilpatrick’s membership was rescinded when he pleaded guilty to two felony counts of misconduct.

Sources said Detroit Club owners were at first reluctant about allowing Kilpatrick to have lunch in the restaurant, with three companions, but decided to oblige him. However, they said they made it clear Kilpatrick would need to pay for the meal.

Yet, the same sources told Rescue 4, at the end of lunch Kilpatrick signed his name to the bill, told club members to “charge it to the city” and walked out.

The receipt clearly shows the date, time and Kilpatrick’s signature.
