Bouncer Grant James Spencer, 20, of Olympic Boulevard, remains in the Bulloch County Jail, charged with felony murder and aggravated battery. Spencer is also a Georgia Southern student.In a civil suit filed March 20, Andrew Glueckert accuses Rude Rudy’s LLC of being responsible for injuries sustained when a bouncer “slammed” him to the floor during a fight.According to the lawsuit, Glueckert was at the bar Feb. 10, 2013, when he “was attacked by a group of drunken patrons and later slammed to the concrete floor head first by Trevor McBurnett, who was an employee of Rude Rudy’s LLC and who was also drunk at the time of the injury.”The suit claims that because McBurnett was employed by Rude Rudy’s at the time, the establishment is responsible.
