Woman is arrested because of no smoking in a bar. WGBA-TV

Appleton - The first weekend of the Appleton workplace smoking ban went without a noticed violation, according to police. A woman claiming a violation was arrested.Appleton police arrested Leslie Fraser for filing a false police report. She called police claiming that Fraser's Bar, on Northland Avenue, was "filled with smokers" late Friday night.

The bar's owner, Jim Fraser, said when police came in, they found no smokers,ashtrays, or cigarette butts. This led police to arrest Ms. Fraser, the bar owner's wife.She is being charged with obstructing officers.

Several bars NBC26 contacted reported sales down from this time last year, but none of the owners or managers said it was reason to panic.
