Police want a liquor license hearing for a Linden Avenue business, because they say the applicant has a criminal history.

Riverside police said Todd Anthony Smith is the applicant for a liquor permit for Bleachers Sports Bar and Grill at 4317 Linden Ave.

A background check for the address and Smith “has come back with an extensive criminal history,” according to a memo from Police Chief Frank Robinson.
