'one of those behind bar' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'cites trouble over community hospital' is the wordplay.
'trouble' is an anagram indicator.
'over' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'community' becomes 'ec'.
'hospital' becomes 'h'.
'cites' anagrammed gives 'icest'.
'ec'+'h'='ech'
'icest' placed around 'ech' is 'ICE CHEST'.
