ABC 7 News - Fenty Calls for Stringent Background Checks: "District officials are promising more stringent criminal background checks for liquor-license applicants following the revelation that a convicted felon was allowed to run a nightclub in Northeast.
Antoine Jones operated Club Level's on Montana Avenue. Jones obtained a liquor license to run the club despite a 1991 drug conviction in Arlington County. The club was closed following an FBI raid in 2005.
Under the District's current system, background checks are only conducted in the District and the applicant's current state of residence. Jones lived in Maryland when he applied for the license. District regulators did not pick up the Virginia conviction. "
