Alibi Drinkery co-owner charged in Jimmy John's assault back in jail Tuesday

ROSEMOUNT, Minn. (FOX 9) - The Alibi Drinkery co-owner accused of assaulting a Jimmy John’s store manager during a face mask dispute is back in jail Tuesday, facing allegations he violated bail in a prior case.

Ricardo "Ricco" Baldazo co-owns Alibi Drinkery, the Lakeville bar and restaurant that violated the Gov. Tim Walz’s pandemic-related shutdown orders late last year by opening to large, in-person crowds.

Baldazo and his partner, Lisa Monet Zarza, got into a confrontation last month with a Jimmy John’s store manager in Rosemount because Monet Zarza allegedly refused to wear a mask while ordering.

A fight over a facemask at a Jimmy John’s in Rosemount ended with multiple criminal charges.

During the incident, security camera footage captures Baldazo reaching across the counter to slap the employee in the face.

Baldazo was cited for fifth-degree assault, which Dakota County authorities argue is a violation of Baldazo’s probation in a prior attempted murder case.

The 39-year old is expected to make a court appearance on the allegations Tuesday morning.
