Coppers corrected NY Dept. of Corrections official Marc Carpentier last night after Carpentier punched a bartender at Chelsea dinosaur, The View.
Several minutes after heading to The View, Carpentier got into a beef with a bartender when he paid for a $5 beer and the server handed over five $1 bills in change, cops said.
Carpentier claimed he’d paid with a $20 bill.
The server continued to insist it was a $10 bill, but offered to give Carpentier another $10 if his cash register showed a discrepancy at night’s end. Carpentier then allegedly punched the 29-year-old bartender.
In addition to violence, Carpentier’s also enjoys “kissing with my eyes open,” according to his MySpace page. We enjoy thinking that’s weird.

any bartender keeps the bill on top of the register just in case of assholes like this questioning him. what’s really shocking is that someone who’s just a deputy commissioner is making $140,000. No wonder city taxes are so high!
