My son got drunk at the bar and punch out the empty paper towel dispenser. They told him he had to pay $50 for it. While taking the money out of his wallet the bar mgr. tried to grab his wallet and bite his arm trying to get him to release his wallet. He filed a police report and went to the doctors but now is getting threatening phone calls telling him to settle his differences out of court, it seems the bar owner is the brother in-law of the head of the DEA in the town. The (female) bar mgr. was fired but I am not sure what kind of dad advice to give him what to do next......

First of all the DEA is a Federal Agency, although they may have an office in your city, they are not part of local government, and this individual would do well to stay out of his brother in laws personal problems. The man who bit/assaulted your son is respsonsible for his actions under the law and thats that. Sure they want to settle out of court to avoid public embarrasment and paying out what the judge orders. Hopefully you have already retained a lawyer, and are recording the phonecalls. Let the Judge decide the case, thats what they are there for. Take care.

Hire an attorney and see if he can sue them for harassment.
