COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO) – The owner of the Five Points bar that made headlines recently has agreed to turn over his business license.

Columbia Police Chief William “Skip” Holbrook said Daniel Wells, the owner of “The Pour House” will relinquish his City of Columbia Business license, effective on May 22.

Authorities say among the terms of this resolution, Wells has agreed to abide by the revocation of the ‘Extended Hours Operating Permit’, whereby the business will be closed and there will be no patrons in the establishment at 2 a.m. each day.

Further, this resolution will operate as an abeyance of the revocation proceedings which have been instituted so that any further violations of liquor laws, state statutes or city ordinances will result in an immediate revocation of the license and a declaration of a public nuisance by Chief Holbrook.

A formal document outlining the details of the understanding between the City of Columbia and Wells is being prepared by Wells’ attorney and counsel for the City of Columbia.
