People in the Oakhurst neighborhood of Johnstown are reacting to the closing of a local bar known to have rowdy patrons.

6 News first reported Wednesday that the Cambria County District Attorney is suing the owner of Edders Den and asking a judge to shut the bar down for at least a year.

That request was granted after just three days. A judge handed down an order Thursday night to have all the locks changed. The decisions comes after a two-year period in which police said they responded to at least 68 different incidents.

People who live near the bars said it was quiet Thursday night, already much different than they're used to. Some people told 6 News they're relieved the bar has shut down, while others said it's a shame that some people's poor decisions have to ruin a convenience for everyone.

"Last night it was dead in this area, I mean, it was nobody at all," said Kenneth Dunfee, who lives near the bar. "Usually you see people walking around and there wasn't."

The Cambria County sheriffs department was ordered to change the locks on all doors at Edders Den Thursday night. The order was handed down by the county's president judge just days after District Attorney Kelly Callihan filed a civil suit against the owner calling the bar a nuisance that causes irrepairable damange to the City of Johnstown.

"A lot of people thought that it was a bad idea for the bar to be there right on the main drag," said Eugene Elderkin who also lives in the neighborhood. "That's kids safety. I agree with that. They should have been somewhere else besides there."

The bar on Sheridan Street near the Oakhurst Homes and directly across from a day care, has caused many problems for police. Within just two years they said they've responded to at least 68 incidents, including 20 fights and three shootings.

"It travels between the two and it's not just his bar," said Dunfee. "It's all bars. All bars have nuisance. People get drunk and they want to fight."

"To me, I don't drink no more," said Elderkin. "But yeah, yeah,  that'd be a good idea for there to be no bar."

The order to close has caused mixed emotions from those who live nearby. The majority are not faulting the owner, but rather his patrons.

"It's the clientele that he has," said Dunfee.

"It's a bar, I mean, it's not bad. It's nice," said Elderkin. "(The owner) getting blamed for stuff, it's not right."

6 News was unable to reach the owner of Edders Den for comment Friday and Callihan was out of town.

A hearing on whether or not the bar should stay closed is scheduled for Monday.
