Stumble It!FAIRBANKS — A Fairbanks man was arrested Sunday morning after allegedly urinating on a Kodiak Jack’s bouncer.
Luke Benson, 22, has been charged with harassment, indecent exposure and making a false report.
The bouncer told police that he was trying to remove Samuel Durkik, 22, of Fairbanks, from the bar for causing a disruption around 2:45 a.m. when the alleged incident occurred.
Durkik allegedly struck the bouncer in the face twice in the course of the confrontation. As the bouncer tried to calm Durkik down, he noticed that Benson was behind him urinating on his leg, according to a criminal complaint filed in court. Durkik also has been charged with fourth-degree assault.
Benson was apparently angry that his friend was being thrown out of the bar.
The bouncer was “extremely upset” that someone had urinated on him, and other bouncers had to prevent him from “going after” Benson. Benson at first gave police a false name according to the complaint. Police noted that both men appeared intoxicated.

Okay, so that's real manly of the guy. Any of you snow-writers care to comment?
Thought it was against the law to be intoxicated in a place of business licensed to sell alcohol. Why aren't proprietors held responsible?

"As the bouncer tried to calm Durkik down, he noticed that Benson was behind him urinating on his leg"
OMG, too funny.
The poor bouncer will never be able to turn his back on anybody now.
Do they get paid enough to be a urinal?
Okay, I hate to say it but this made me laugh so hard I almost pee'd my pants lol!!! :)
"The bouncer was extremely upset that someone was urinating on him,"...and other bouncers were trying to keep him from "going after Benson."
I would think the bouncer would be very upset.
How about bouncers "letting their partner GO so he could kick Luke Benson's ass?"
Sounds logical to me.
And quite justified.
What gets me is "police say Durkik and Benson APPEARED to be intoxicated.
Now I've seen folks "help out their boy" (or girl) in certain ways.
But having Samuel's back by pulling the "Johnson" out to pee on somebody?
Luke...how low can you go?
Intoxicated in a bar??? Can you believe that? I think most of us could put that together already, I mean getting removed from the bar and to pee on someone.
I am waiting for the highlights to hit the net.
Hey, at lest he didn't pull a gun.
Or did he, grizzly73? LOL
The stuff drunk people pee on...
What do you mean he didn't pull his gun? In the army we always use to chant "this is my weapon, this is my gun, this one's for fightin, this one's for fun"
Apparently they have no sugar at Kodiak Jack's....
I heard people use the term ''quit peein on my leg'' before , but then again - someone had to initiate it.....
They should have called animal control and locked him up with all the pisshounds instead of calling the police.....
Another segment continuing saga at brokeback kodiak jacks.
I think I would be kinda mad at my bouncer friends for not watching my back whilst getting hit in the face twice and pee'd on...
Also - the real question remains...
What did Palin's daughter's boyfriends mother have to do with this???
Was she seen in the area before the altercation??
I am sure if the DNM tries hard enough they can tie the stories together with a flourish!
It's better to be pissed off, than to be pissed on ... just ask a bouncer.
He's lucky he didn't freeze to the bouncers leg.
Well it's all kind of funny but do the math--the police were called,these jokers were booked into FCC where staff had to attend to them, give them food,etc. Then they will appear before a magistrate who will have a clerk. A pile of paperwork will be generated. An assistant attorney general will be involved. On and on--all this costs the public a fortune. These idiots should have to pay a very stiff fine.
MrsS if you have one drink you are intoxicated....regardless of where you consume it. The Daily News-Miner could have, should have, left their news about the police officer's comment out of the article. Not relevant even if the article causes humor to come to the surface.
No legal mess here. It sounds like a washed and dried case as that dude doesn't have a leg to pee on.
theabowman,
What would you suggest? shooting them, then there is a funeral, jail time etc.
Or just ignore the whole thing?
Why?Didn't he go out by the dumpster I mean,that's where Nick,goes.
MrsS- There are different types of intoxicated- being too intoxicated for public is based of behavior and control of motor skills where being intoxicated behind the wheel is based of blood alcohol content. You are allowed to be intoxicated in a bar, a bartender is not allowed to serve a NOTICABLY intoxicated person or a person they know to be intoxicated (because they served them enough already as apposed to walking through the door) but they do not have to remove them from the premise based on the fact they are intoxicated and having fun; THAT IS WHERE THEY SHOULD STAY UNTIL A CAB COMES. Could you imagine that once a guy got to the level of 'just right' and didnt want to drink any more just hang and shoot some pool the establishment said 'time for you to go'. All the good buzz's that would be walking out the door to go .... where? Home? To another bar? Better yet, down to the local park.
Comedian Ron White "No I got drunk in a bar, they through me into public. I would gladly go back into the bar."
This story just doesn't make too much sense to me.
Do you think that if the bouncer had already been struck in the face 2 times he would be trying to calm the guy down and not notice somebody behind him peeing on his leg? Another thing that doesn't make sense is that if there was a disturbance, there wouldn't be only one bouncer taking care of it. Those guys are pretty quick to move in at any sign of a fight. Especially on a Saturday night (Sunday morning).
OMG, I don't know what's funnier, this story or the comments. I'll go with the comments. Nice job, guys. lol (And btw, DNM shouldn't include the whole name of the story in the URL -- it ruins the surprise when I want to forward them.)
Darn it - all of the good jokes have already been used. Bravo to those comments that made me laugh.
If you sprinkle
When you tinkle,
Your poor precision
Could lead to prison.
okay people calm down. First of all the news miner should really get their story straight. Sam was breaking up a fight when the bouncer grabbed HIM. they leave that stuff out. The two people who actually started an altercation in the bar wheren't arrested, or even detained or yelled at or anything by the bouncers. now luke...goodness, that was a little much but Sam was attacked by a bouncer for pulling a friend out of a fight. Kodiak Jacks sucks anyway, the only thing that happens there is people get drunk, assaulted by bouncers an arrested. this was a rather hilarious event though! haha

Wow Laidback that is pretty classy of you to say. If Kodiak Jacks is so bad why do people still go there? Pretty darn funny though keep the good stories rolling, we all need some good laughs during these cold times.
Nice tie-in Dirk! =)
There was a line at the bathroom... Two shots in the snot locker of the bouncer, nice work Sam, the bouncer is lucky you had a few cocktails.
Rhody, unfortunately it isn't the first guy that throws the punch that usually gets in trouble. Yes, they should have gotten the full story down on paper, but the bouncers are there for a reason and should have been left to break up the fight. Often times when people other than bar staff try to break up the fight, they become the next aggresors as they get hit by stray fists and vulgar language, then before you know it there is 5 people in the fight instead of the original 2.
Yes it sucks he got pissed on but unfortunately that is the name of the game as a bouncer. I've seen much worse done to bouncers, from being thrown up on to drinks being thrown at them. Everyone goes out to the bars for a good time and when they are having too much fun and get told to settle down, it is just like waving a red flag in front of a bull, so they lash out.
This is the story of urincane,
who defended a friend with a pugulist's brain,
by a liquid protest he did drain,
and the bouncer would only latently respond,
"I'm going after he who wet my leg!"
O.K TAC, please help me out on this one!
frzn_drftr not all people go out to the bars have good intentions to begin with, some are actually there looking for trouble. But hey no matter the intentions (instant ass-hole) Just add alcohol!
Isn't Alcohol Great? I bet right now Benson would stayed home and smoked a joint instead.
JB, you are mistaken about it being legal to be drunk in a bar.
AS 04.16.030. Prohibited Conduct Relating to Drunken Persons.
(a) A licensee, an agent, or employee may not with criminal negligence
(1) sell, give, or barter alcoholic beverages to a drunken person;
(2) allow another person to sell, give, or barter an alcoholic beverage to a drunken person within licensed premises;
(3) allow a drunken person to enter and remain within licensed premises or to consume an alcoholic beverage within licensed premises;
(4) permit a drunken person to sell or serve alcoholic beverages.
AS 04.16.040. Access of Drunken Persons to Licensed Premises.
A drunken person may not knowingly enter or remain on premises licensed under this title.
Drunken is defined as:
(8) "drunken person" means a person whose physical or mental conduct is substantially impaired as a result of the introduction of an alcoholic beverage into the person's body and who exhibits those plain and easily observed or discovered outward manifestations of behavior commonly known to be produced by the overconsumption of alcoholic beverages;
And when it comes to DUI, impairment means EITHER over the legal limit or having your coordination/judgment impaired to the point where you are a danger, regardless of what "number" you're at. In other words, it is entirely possible to be arrested and convicted with a Blood Alcohol Content of under .08.
And before people try to kill the messenger and lash out about how stupid it is to be illegal to be drunk in a bar, remember, what you think the law is or should be is irrelevant. All that matters is what the law is, not what you think it is. If you don't like it, get it changed.
obed9 - does your "o" "a" and "e" key not work on your keyboard... oh wait they do... why would you try to shorten my name like that... that's one of the most ridiculous things I have seen on here...
OBVIOUSLY from my comment I have been to the bars around town and have seen the often alcohol induced acts commited by people. So yes... I know that people don't always go to the bar with good intentions. But sure glad you felt like jumping on here to point out and state the obvious. Everyone get's there five minutes of fame on here I guess.
-frzn_drftr
oops I mean Frozen_Drafter, damn I have already absorbed some of your idiocy
Guess my good intentions for this morning were checked at the door!
*looking for a fight*
Luke, once again you have done the good lords work. Being drunk at the bar is great fun. Not driving home or fighting someone just sweetens the deal. Can you say "OGRE" Don't drink and drive people, it has already cost our community too many kind souls over the years.
Ooooh, who knew that this leakage would create such piddle-worthy poetry?
I worked as a bouncer when I went back to school, and I can tell you that it was zero fun at all.
In fact, I've only been to a bar two times since I left that job.
Even in an upscale establishment, all kinds of weird things get thrown around. I've had all manners of bodily fluid sent in my direction, and I even saw a turd get tossed onto the dancefloor - twice.
Gettin' pee'd on is rough, but it could've been worse. Next time, keep your back to a wall - that guy could've stabbed you just as easily.
This is the duty of a bouncer. It's one of those, when it rains it pours, kind of jobs.
Justatrooper,
Thanks, as a former bartender I thought that was the law. Also, every time I've cut someone off and allowed them to remain they were snuck drinks by other patrons. So, I usually wound up babysitting till a ride materialized.
MrsS
hahahahah thats my boy luke and sams last name is DURDIK not durkik but anyways being down here in az im glad to here my homies are keepin it real in the banks and really the newspaper needs to start gettin the story straight all they do is bend the truth just to make ppl look a hundred times worse then they really are i know both sam and luke personally and if i had to guess the bouncer had it comin lol
This can only be considered a "YOU TUBE" moment!!!!!
Geez. The wonders of mace. You know??
Then, when police come to file the report, my excuse would be, "He sprayed first!"
... with Luke in the background trying to use the source to calm his burning sensations.
As a military man, I have heard numerous stories of the exploits of the men and some women who've worked with and for me while partying at KJ's. With that being said and now reading this story, you couldn't pay me to step one foot inside any of those establishments. I'm just curious though, do these gentleman that were arrested have any affiliation with the Army? It wouldn't surprise me.
A follow-up justatrooper's comment:
In other words, be good at the bar and the cops won't have to come out and arrest people.
Never been to a bar yet, where cops enjoyed walking into and everybody offered them a drink & a smile. ... unless they were girl cops <GRIN>
AHHHHHHH!!!! hahaha get the story straight man im all the way in Arizona an luke didnt pee on the back of dude,,, luke pissed all over the front of that bouncer an its not cause he was too drunk or any of that.... luke is a raider from the east an thats what we do... we piss on dutsh bags an save the doobies for the next day to sit around an reminess hahahahhahahahahaha your my boy luke way to hold ett down in the AKKKKKK!!!!! hahahahahhahaha
P.S. howard stern i EXPECT to hear bout this across the entire nation LOLOLOLOL that a boy luke!!!!!! hahahahahahahahah
Well if this is one of the funniest things ever it does bring warmth to the cold days. It is sad that he had to commit to operation golden flow to assist his friend
I must say something to coldblooded, you must be in the Air Force to believe that it must have been someone in the Army. But hey Military Man way to serve. bashing the other branches must make you feel good. thought we were in the fight together.
rogerx,
Maybe you weren't here in the 70's & 80's or you'd remember seeing beat cops downtown and yes, they did cruise through the bars.
MrsS
What's a "raider from the east" and do they all spell as poorly as yourself?
Oh, and anyone over the age of 15 that nicknames themselves "____ Jedi" is a nerd of the highest order.
Your friend got out of control, and got himself in trouble. He could've left without incident and been back the next week. Now he's likely to be 86'd for life, and probably has a few people looking for him as I type.
Working the floor is all about perception: Power perceived is power achieved. If a patron severly disrespects the Staff, they have to be dealt with quickly and with extreme prejudice. If not, there will be more trouble next weekend as word of the "soft" bouncers travels around.
9 out of 10 incidents in my bar involved me saving a customer from their own bad judgement. I rarely let them get so out of hand that they ended up in handcuffs. I'd walk a guy out on Saturday, and he'd shake my hand a week later. Drunks are funny that way.
Even though this story is entertaining,I feel whats done in the east should stay in the east.
Alcohol all through my brain,
local dive to show my shame.
Drunken fists my friend did rain,
This full bladder i did drain.
I soaked the bouncer, I don't know why.
All I did was enrage the guy.
All I seen was a floor of pee,
next thing a cop's gotta hold of me.
Was he marking his territory?
hahah those guys are definetely not military but y would anyone take something this hilarious to serious hahaha except the bouncer of course, but i guarentee if it happened to someone else that same bouncer would be crackin up
p.s. nerd of the highest order??? hahaha hilarious
AKsmoke and Jedi you guys are seriously dumb, please learn how to type grammatically and give up the "doobie" because it has your moral meter out of whack. The fact that you are proud your friend made a complete idiot out of himself is just shamefully despicable.
I dunnno, pee on my leg, I break your leg...seems fair.
rotf . . lmao. I've known a few bouncers in my time, and I can't of a single one who would have called the cops, instead of rubbing the guys face in his pee pile. It works on puppies right?
I appreciate your humor Mackie1 . . .
How sad to be 86ed from Brokeback Kodiak Jacks.
It's only a matter of time before there is a major shoot-out there.
Anyone care to make a wager?
(There has already been shootings in the parking lot.)
To pee or not to pee. That is the question;
Whether 'tis nobler in the bladder to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous bouncers,
Or to take aim against a sea of troubles,
And by relieving, end them. To pass out, to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The fist-fight and the thousand natural drops
That flesh is peed upon — 'tis a conflagration
Devoutly to be peed. To pass out, to sleep;
To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there's the rub,
For in that sleeping it off in jail what dreams may come,
When we have sobered up this moral foil,
Must give us pause. There's the absence of respect
That makes calamity of so worthless a life,
For who would bear the whips and scorns of news-miner bloggers,
Th'bouncer's wrong, the drunk man's contumely,
The pangs of holding one's urine, the law's delay,
The insolence of police officers, and the spurns
That impatient relief of th'unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare foreskin? who would fools bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary peeing,
But that the dread of something after voiding,
The undiscovered jail cell from whose bourn
No drunken idiot should return, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bare all we have
Than open thy fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make convicts of us all,
And thus the native flow of urination
Is halted midstream o'er with the pale cast of thoughtlessness,
And enterprises of great drunkenness and idiocy
With this regard their steady currents turn awry,
And find thy name in the paper.
With sincere apologies to Wm. Shakespeare
Hey at least he didnt shoot or stab anyone. Obviously the whole story isnt here. If someone were to strike a bouncer in the face twice (especially at KJ's) they wouldnt be trying to calm him down, he would have his face in the floor being handcuffed and thats where it should be. When there is a fight there, bouncers come from all directions in seconds and they dont lack size. How he was urinated on i have no idea, someone should have been paying attention. I wonder how far he got before the guy realized he was being urinated on? lol I dont care who you are it makes you laugh a little. """Oh yeah you wanna mess with my buddy, well hold still buddy i got something for ya, here it comes.. oh yeah right there dont move im almost done, Take that and like it. lol. """ lol alright im done.
Justatrooper- Read my comment before correcting me sir. I did not say it was okay to be drunk in a bar, I said it is not measured the same. I also said that having a drink inside a bar and having alcohol in your system does not constitute being drunk. There is a difference so read the meaning and not just what you want to hear.
TAC - Talk about Willie on willie, well done! Now for a rendition of Old Man River. You curse is our penchant, so please deliver!
JB, I stand corrected and apologize if I misread your post. However, you do seem to imply that a bartender must stop serving an obviously drunk person, but that same obviously drunk person may remain in the bar. That is not the case. You may not be obviously drunk in a bar, and a bartender or any other employee may not serve you or allow you to stay in the bar if you are obviously drunk. The same standard of being served applies to being in the bar at all.
frozen1 you obviously must be in the Army or retired Army. The reason I made that comment is simply because anytime a crime has been committed in Fairbanks and is worth doing a story and posting online it usually involves someone who is either currently in the Army, or was in the Army and got discharged because of their inapproriate offduty conduct. It is what it is. I can't change it, neither can you. I was simply asking a rhetorical question. I mean look at those three slugs who killed the gentleman right before Christmas simply to cover up that they had been selling or trying to sell equipment that belonged to the Army. When was the last time you read about someone in the Air Force causing problems to people of NP and Fairbanks? Not very often. I am sure it happens but frozen1 you know as well as I do the AF hasn't resovled to enlisting people with low moral and ethical standards such as the Army has done just to meet their enlistment goals. I am not bashing the Army I have highest respect for quite abit of you who are in the Army but when I see some of those guys in town that are products of the Army I just shake my head wonder how in world did this guy or that guy get into the military. You know you have done the same thing.
how can you fools take this so seriously? those bouncers at kodiaks are always looking for a fight. besides its not even half as bad as what those idiotic military mongoloids do on the daily
Yea I did it. So what.
All I can say to those that did it - grow up, wake up, be a man. Anyone who behaves in this manner is not deserving of any type of respect. Pathetic, truly pathetic.
After all those months of toilet training...tsk, tsk. Unfortunatley there are just enough idiots in the world that think this was a cavalier act too be emmulated. It took me a week to potty train my dog, it may take longer with this idiot, but I can try.
MrsSaenz: nope. wasn't here in the 70/80's. Was elsewhere. This must've been interesting as I've never seen cops visiting a bar unless a crime was reported. And I mean never. I can just imagine the ridicule they had to endure while they were walking through in uniforms.
Ive seen police in a bar, patroling. Also the civil patrol from Wainwright, no one ridicules them.
