G-man faces charges over beer pong event

June 8, 2010 9:59pm EDTThe Gingerbread Man, 130 Hiester St., State College, will face liquor law violations related to a beer pong tournament that took place March 23. 
According to the state Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement, the event was sponsored or co-sponsored by someone other than the Gingerbread Man licensee. The tournament also violated the Human Relations Act. According to the bureau, the event charged women $25 to play beer pong while men and co-ed teams were charged a $50 entry fee.

According to the bureau, the charges will be brought before an administrative law judge.
