A Long Island man's peculiar actions, including assaulting a one-legged man and performing a nude dance on a poker table in Las Vegas, were allegedly the result of drink tampering, according to his family. Brian Danilczyk, 35, was visiting Sin City for a bachelor party when his behavior took an unexpected turn after consuming a spiked beverage.
The relatives, his wife Michele Danilczyk and father William Danilczyk, spoke separately to The Post, asserting that Brian's aberrant conduct was a direct consequence of an unknown hallucinogenic substance being surreptitiously added to his drink.
Michele Danilczyk, expressing disbelief at her husband's actions, defended his character in a text message, stating, "I will start by saying that we are good people and my husband is a great person. He would NEVER act in such a way. He is the victim."
According to Las Vegas police, the incident unfolded at the Bird Bar in the Flamingo Hotel at approximately 11:20 p.m. on Sunday. Brian Danilczyk allegedly assaulted a one-legged man before fleeing onto the Strip. He proceeded to enter Harrah's Hotel and Casino, where surveillance footage captured him undressing and then "flaunting his genitalia while gyrating" on top of a poker table.
Authorities intervened and arrested Danilczyk on charges of disorderly conduct, battery, and five counts of indecent exposure. Remarkably, the accused claims to have no recollection of the events, a fact corroborated by his family.
William Danilczyk, Brian's father, described his son as being "in an altered state of mind" during the incident. He disclosed that the group had ordered Irish Car Bombs, a concoction consisting of Irish whiskey and Irish cream dropped into a half pint of Guinness stout beer.
Investigations into the incident are ongoing, as authorities work to determine the source and nature of the alleged drink tampering. The Danilczyk family hopes that their claims will shed light on the circumstances leading to Brian's unusual behavior and exonerate him from any intentional wrongdoing.
As the Long Island community waits for further developments, questions regarding the safety and security of alcoholic beverages in Las Vegas establishments have emerged. The incident serves as a reminder for partygoers to remain vigilant and exercise caution while enjoying the city's vibrant nightlife.
