02:45and that will be Kimberly Freeman

02:48manager.

02:52Mr. Attorney Kaplan

02:54Come on in.

02:57>> Good afternoon members of the Licensing

02:59Commission uh for the record, attorney

03:01A.J. Kaplan Kaplan & McLoyn on behalf of

03:04Pallet LLC. Uh we're seeking a Section

03:0712 general on-premises alcohol beverage

03:09license uh for the Pallet function room

03:12located right up front at 16 8 City Hall

03:14Square. Uh Pallet is an existing

03:17function and event space

03:19uh located in a building owned by

03:21Centerboard Inc., which is a well-known

03:23Lynn non-profit that does great work in

03:25our community.

03:27The function room has been operating

03:28successfully and has hosted numerous

03:30private and community-focused events. To

03:33date, alcohol service has been

03:34accommodated for through one-day

03:36licenses at this commission or through

03:39their caterers. Um the space is

03:41continuing to grow. The applicant is

03:43looking for a more permanent liquor

03:44license to eliminate the need for

03:46repeated one-day licenses and to give

03:48greater consistency in its booking

03:50operations. We're not proposing

03:52importantly, we're not proposing any

03:54change to the nature of the business.

03:56Pallet will continue to operate private

03:58functions and at the event space with

04:01alcohol being served only in connection

04:03with the schedule of events, no regular

04:05hours.

04:06The applicant received a special permit

04:08from the Lynn City Council on July 7th

04:10for this location. We've completed the

04:12licensing application. We've completed a

04:14lease for the space, and we're prepared

04:16to move to the ABCC with approval from

04:18this commission. And you know, we we

04:21believe this is

04:22a positive addition to downtown Lynn,

04:24supports the community events, and

04:27Senator Edwards charitable mission. So,

04:28for those reasons we respectfully

04:30request the commission's approval, and

04:32thank you for your consideration.

04:35>> Thank you.

04:35>> Okay.

16:45>> Okay. So, I couldn't pronounce your

16:47last.

16:47>> No driving is Daisy.

16:52>> He was present in the Chinese

16:53restaurant.

16:54>> Okay.

16:55>> So, I can translate it to the police

16:58with one of the witnesses.

17:00>> Okay.

17:00>> And I sent them the report.

17:03I think it's two reports. You sent me

17:04the viewing report, too.

17:10>> So, you wanted to to just kind of tell

17:12us what actually happened.

17:15>> Yeah, I can I think it's some license

17:16she gave you.

17:19These people came in at about 8:30.

17:22They had one of the two individuals.

17:28They got up at about 9:30 and left.

17:30They disputed.

17:32The argument is the dispute was over

17:35that they didn't finish what they had

17:36been served.

17:38And that was that was the dispute.

17:41They got up and left.

17:43The woman who was a waitress was the one

17:45who gave a mistake, I think.

17:48The wrong safety.

17:50She ran after them.

17:51When she ran after them,

17:54in the video that the

17:56Daisy in the establishment

17:58I've seen we've got it on our phones

18:00here.

18:01Providing it to the police shows that as

18:03she approached the car, one of the two

18:05men got out of the car with a knife.

18:09And she challenged him and said you need

18:10to pay the tab, and he

18:12he puts the knife to her

18:14neck. That's a small comfort.

18:17He was accompanied by a friend of hers,

18:19father, I think it was, who then ran

18:23inside calling 911. The police arrived.

18:27They talked to the waitress and that

18:29they needed translation to talk to

18:31Paula. And so that's why there's two

18:33reports, I believe. And Daisy is the

18:35person that they they talked with.

18:37The police, she translated with Paula.

18:40But essentially, what the video showed

18:43is what the police reported.

18:44Which is um

18:47one of the two runs off

18:49and the other uh

18:52they search the car. They find empty

18:54beer cans and bottles and whatever.

18:57Um

18:58and they ultimately find what I think

19:00they call a

19:02I'm not an expert in knives, but it was

19:04called like a Milwaukee

19:06something knife, which was explained to

19:08be a uh

19:10one of the

19:11people that they

19:12person arrested.

19:14Uh he said he was in the construction

19:16>> It's going to be a construction knife,

19:17you think?

19:18>> Yeah. And then they need So they

19:19recovered the knife.

19:20>> Was it a normal knife?

19:21>> Uh and they put that person in custody.

19:24And then the waitress

19:26had just like a little that she refused

19:28the medical attention. It was like a a

19:30puncture mark, just but the Daisy was

19:33there and translated so she could tell

19:35you what she saw. And And we have get

19:37the phone, we got we got the video.

19:40>> So you you're the manager?

19:42Sorry, are you the manager? Where were

19:44you while this was happening?

19:45>> At the office. I was in the basement. I

19:47was uh

19:49doing a check and bringing some bottles

19:51to the bar. That's what for the

19:53bartender.

19:55>> And the waitress didn't know enough to

19:57con- to call you first?

19:58>> No, because everything happened so

20:00quick. They left and went to the car. So

20:04the waitress get the bill and run after

20:08them and just ask them to please uh pay

20:10the bill. And

20:13quickly the other server server uh come

20:16outside and notice what was happening.

20:19Run inside again and she was already

20:21calling the police. That's when another

20:23waitress talked to the office and let me

20:25know what was happening. That's when I

20:27came outside. But the police arrived

20:29like 5 minutes later. They didn't take

20:32too long. They arrived quickly and they

20:35took the control of everything that was

20:37happening.

20:40>> So, how long were they there inside the

20:44establishment?

20:45>> Sorry, what?

20:46>> How long were they there?

20:47>> The customers?

20:49It was less than an hour. They

20:52>> We looked at the receipt that came in

20:54the gate.

20:54>> they they ordered they just uh

20:56>> It was like a 9 something.

20:58>> Yes.

21:01>> And his view was that they didn't finish

21:03what they had.

21:04>> Mhm. That's what they they said that we

21:06don't finish we need to leave and that's

21:08what I think.

21:09That's what they say.

21:12>> When they came in, did you have security

21:14guard service to them or anything?

21:15>> Unfortunately that night

21:18our security they were they were we

21:20always have he have an argument with his

21:22boss and he quit the job. So, he sent

21:25another security and new security and he

21:29arrived a around a 9:40. We always have

21:33the security at 8:40 every night every

21:37every night.

21:37>> How many people were working then?

21:39>> Seven.

21:42Who's seven?

21:43>> Seven people was attending that night.

21:45>> Sunday night, yes.

21:47>> Now, when they came in, did anybody

21:49notice if they were intoxicated or

21:51>> No, it

21:52they were not. They were

21:55uh perfectly in good condition, but they

21:58didn't finish what they were

22:00ordered. That that's why we were

22:02concerned why they said they were

22:04intoxicated. They we don't they were

22:07drinking and before they went to the um

22:11to the restaurant really and they

22:13entered really quick and then they

22:15go back to the car.

22:17But they they wasn't intoxicated.

22:19>> You could see them walking in.

22:20>> Yeah, yeah. They think they walked out

22:22to the car. I have the videos if you

22:24guys want.

22:24>> Yeah.

22:26Did you get the reports?

22:28>> Um we

22:28>> think I was here for this one, but I

22:30think sales were out.

22:34I think Mark was in.

22:35>> But they went in through the kitchen.

22:36They walked in through this way.

22:42>> I think it's two reports.

22:43>> Yes.

22:45>> Yeah.

22:56>> Well, I just I just have to say two

22:58things.

22:59One is that

23:02the waitress did a very dangerous thing.

23:05>> Right.

23:06>> Absolutely right.

23:07>> You know, uh

23:08>> She was was a jolly good employee short

23:11period of time, but that was I I'll

23:13agree.

23:14>> Yeah.

23:15Um

23:16>> But you know, part of it was she didn't

23:18want to get stuck with the check.

23:19>> No, I I I realize that, but I mean,

23:22maybe better training for your staff.

23:24>> Yeah, I always when I uh

23:27some of uh company to job, I always give

23:30them two weeks uh to see if I like how

23:33they work and if

23:35they like the how we work and

23:38I didn't give her the job after after

23:40all of this. We let her know that that

23:42was a dangerous thing that they should

23:46Cuz nobody is able to go outside the

23:48restaurant and employee while they're

23:50working.

23:53>> And I think that's the second thing is I

23:55I know you said you were downstairs in

23:57the office. The office is in the

23:59basement.

24:01>> But I always on the I

24:03on the restaurant, I always around

24:05people asking how they're doing, how's

24:08the food, how's everything, how's

24:10helping always to the ladies what they

24:12need. That's why I sometime I go to the

24:14office, but I I don't I never stay there

24:16for too long. I always around.

24:19On the kitchen, on the bar, on the

24:21tables.

24:22>> Okay, that's right.

24:23>> Did you let anybody know that you were

24:25going downstairs? No? Did you let

24:27anybody know?

24:28>> Yes, cuz they asked me for a bottle of

24:31tequila that night. So I I went to the

24:33office and I

24:35I used the same time to make a check

24:38that I was

24:39that I used to do that night and then

24:41that's when that's when everything

24:44happened.

24:46But that was really quick. That was

24:47super quick one everything happened.

24:49>> That's what that's the reason why it

24:50took

24:51>> was way before the waiters noticed that

24:54they don't want to pay the bill. So

24:55that's when everything happened super

24:57quick.

24:59>> Okay.

25:01>> I have a question about the security.

25:03You mentioned that unfortunately that

25:05day

25:06obviously you can't predict those

25:08things. What happens in situations like

25:10that? For example, do you only have one

25:13person on site for security? If they

25:15call out who comes next? In a situation

25:17like that where that time it was a lot

25:19of time in between where you didn't have

25:21security. What's your protocol for that?

25:24>> I called the

25:26person in charge of the security that

25:28it's he have a lot of people working for

25:30him but the time that security took to

25:33arrive was the drive from from his house

25:36to the restaurant cuz we always had

25:38sometimes two or just one but they

25:41always on time. They always 15-20

25:43minutes before but the security that we

25:45had that night that he didn't let them

25:47know that he's not going to work that

25:50night.

25:50>> Right, but I'm saying like for you when

25:53you realize that they're not there,

25:54what's your protocol? Just to maintain

25:57things safe because I'm thinking like

25:58moving forward if this ever were to

26:00happen again, how can you prevent that?

26:03>> I cuz I always checking what the waiters

26:06who are they going to serve. I make sure

26:09they ask for their IDs or if people are

26:11in stable conditions to have

26:14what they going to order or so I don't

26:16have too many drinks and everything is

26:18like uh safe for for everybody and

26:23and

26:24I I try to make my best to take care of

26:27everything too if they are out for an

26:28hour or two much don't serve anymore.

26:31And

26:32she is always there.

26:33>> Did you know she have a

26:38>> He's always there with me.

26:40>> Okay.

26:42Mhm.

26:43>> Right. We both of them.

26:44>> Was he there that night?

26:45>> Yeah.

26:47>> Did he see the waitress come?

26:50He went out

26:50>> He came outside with me. He tried to

26:52spoke with the guys and he

26:54tried to everything to calm down and

26:57spoke with them. He was saying a little

26:59bit like not it's okay but don't do that

27:01and they were we already called the

27:03police so we just wait for the police to

27:06arrive and handle the situation.

27:09Cuz that was super quick and the police

27:11didn't take any more than 6 minutes to

27:13arrive.

27:16>> Thank you.

27:19No, of course.

27:24And we're

27:30Right. And that's why I asked because

27:32normally specifically in a situation

27:34like that, you know, it's like a you're

27:36you don't know what you're going to do

27:37or what the waitress's reaction is and

27:39we can't really blame the waitress. It's

27:41the responsibility is on you guys. So

27:43having a protocol in place and knowing

27:45what the next steps would be is is what

27:47I'm concerned with.

27:49>> Yeah, and we are happy

27:52Yes. And we having meetings

27:55two times or one time a month. So we we

27:59speak everything

28:01on the on the meetings and we they

28:04already know that they can not and not

28:06be able to go outside or do something

28:09else or let them ask to take care of the

28:12any situation. Mostly Juan Juan is

28:15always on the door with the security

28:18making sure he's checking the IDs. No

28:20picture, no nothing else more than the

28:22real ID. And my job is taking care of

28:26the all the tables, the ladies and

28:28making sure they are

28:30working the the way it needs.

28:33>> This could be an isolated incident, but

28:35I don't know. Do you have any other

28:36reports for them previously that's

28:38similar?

28:39>> No, I don't think so. No, this is This

28:42is

28:43>> Yeah, there has been There's been a few.

28:46>> Uh nonetheless, couple minutes.

28:48>> to progress to work as best we can.

28:50Everybody's happy now with the the

28:53clients and partners. We're trying our

28:56best.

28:58>> What you need to have is a plan in case

29:00of an emergency. Who's the second

29:02person, third person? That way because

29:05we can't predict these things.

29:07I mean, the young

29:08lady went out after the money.

29:11I mean, I don't even want to say

29:15So,

29:16the life

29:18of a person comes first.

29:19>> Yes.

29:20>> And the dangers that it's causing in the

29:22city.

29:23And in this establishment.

29:25So,

29:29you said there were like five

29:32Which person got hurt in the room?

29:34>> Um total was uh of us were seven. Seven.

29:40And after that incident, we have a

29:42meeting with all the ladies and the

29:44security, the new security that we have,

29:47and and talk about it, and I let them

29:50know that if any of them try to go

29:53outside while he's working or putting

29:55their life in danger or any of us,

29:58uh they not going to be able to work

30:00with us anymore.

30:04>> Okay.

30:05Any other questions?

30:07>> No, I don't.

30:12>> So, what This was a conference. So, in

30:14in conferences, we just kind of come in

30:16and find out what happened.

30:18And you know, see if

30:21you know, we can do anything better in

30:23the future. So, I think that this is

30:25just, you know,

30:27you seem like you've been taking a

30:28proactive approach, so

30:31um

30:32you know, just continue with that and

30:34just be safe.

30:36>> Thank you.

30:36>> Don't forget this is your license.

30:38>> Yes.

30:39>> It's your name on the line is not nobody

30:42else's. I mean

30:44>> Thank you.

30:44>> You go through

30:47a lot of money to get you know a place

30:49and it's just the money you bring in.

30:51Thank you.

30:52>> Thank you so much.

30:52>> Thank you.

30:58>> This video is done.

31:00Bye.

31:01Where did this all come from?

31:39Now that we received

31:41some information back from the um

31:46the ABCC

31:50we have a decision.

31:54Before I go on with the explanation, do

31:57you want to say anything?

31:59>> Yes, I want to say that the notice says

32:02that it's as a violation

32:05of the rules

32:07and violation of rule

32:09a 15A and local rule

32:12uh

32:1315C and D and the ABCC

32:18did not did not uphold the violation of

32:20C and D.

32:21>> Correct.

32:22>> The so the the notice the notice is that

32:24that's what the issue is.

32:25Uh

32:26the only issue was the question of the

32:29uh

32:30and and even the ABCC said that we

32:32conceded that we didn't we hadn't filed

32:34the

32:35uh written

32:37agreement

32:38uh

32:39uh previously.

32:41I

32:42two freedom of information requests. I'm

32:44very familiar with the rules because I

32:46sued the license board in 2006 when they

32:48had no rules, and they adopted a rule

32:51that said,

32:53uh, promoters, uh,

32:54security should file, uh,

32:57their agreements.

32:59As of today, the only agreement that's

33:01ever been filed has been filed by

33:02ProVenza. It was filed

33:05uh, and from that that time at that

33:06event.

33:07Uh, and if you look at this agreement,

33:10uh, it said that the, uh,

33:13it it was by somebody who calls himself

33:15out as Chief Pedro Hernandez. This this

33:18security company works in Lynn today and

33:20works for many other establishments. And

33:23so, uh, in terms of enforcement for not

33:26filing the report, we're the only one in

33:29the hit that I know in the last 5 years

33:31that's ever filed a written report. Uh,

33:33contract. This contract says that the

33:36and I've I made copies of the pages is

33:38that,

33:40uh,

33:41the security company is responsible for,

33:44uh,

33:45hiring only people vetted by the Mass

33:47State Police,

33:49uh, those who've got successful queries.

33:52Uh,

33:52it says that they will file in

33:55in accordance with all local rules. So,

33:58we relied on the contract. We paid them

34:01$4,000 a week, uh,

34:04to

34:05to do what the contract said. When they

34:07didn't do that, we terminated it, and we

34:09now have in step on staff

34:12in-house, uh, security.

34:14But, putting that aside,

34:16uh, with respect to the failure to file,

34:19I would suggest that we're the only ones

34:21that ever filed.

34:25And I've got the sections that I I'll

34:27give you the entire contract, but I've

34:28got the sections in mind

34:30uh,

34:31where they say they they will undertake

34:33to do these various things.

34:37That's an eight-page, I think it's a

34:3913-page,

34:42This is the entire

34:43contract.

34:49>> But at the time of the violation, you

34:51hadn't filed.

34:53>> And and we conceded that. The ABCC says

34:55that we conceded that. There's no

34:56question.

34:57>> there was a violation.

34:58>> Right. What I'm What I'm pointing out is

35:00it says we can impose a reasonable

35:02penalty. I think given the fact that

35:05we're the only ones in the past 5 years

35:08>> I don't I don't know that.

35:10I have

35:11>> two freedom of information from the city

35:12clerk

35:14in which the only written contract they

35:17could provide me with is ours.

35:20>> So, I think that's something that we we

35:22as a board definitely need to correct or

35:24make sure that everybody has filed

35:28a written plan and a written request for

35:30their security. But then we're not

35:32hearing that tonight. We're hearing this

35:34case.

35:34>> I understand, but I'm just pointing out

35:36>> Okay.

35:37>> that in fairness, that

35:40we would be before that that that the

35:42the rules to be enforced that ought to

35:44be enforced across the board.

35:46>> And

35:46>> Because we used a company that we knew

35:50was doing the same work in line.

36:00>> With the security company

36:02they work for her.

36:05You're the boss. You're the one that

36:07have to tell them exactly what's going

36:08on and how to run

36:10you know, how to check the

36:11customers when they come in. There was

36:13no security uh in place at the time.

36:17>> There was security in place.

36:18>> There was no

36:20The violation was

36:21>> There's no question there's security in

36:22place.

36:27>> The violation is for not notifying the

36:29board that they had outside security.

36:31>> Outside security.

36:57>> So if you need special assistance here

37:03Okay.

37:05What is the motion before us?

37:08>> So you first the the initial

37:12um penalty was a 30-day suspension. So

37:15given the fact that this is a first

37:16offense and the first offense allows for

37:197-day suspension, I'm making a motion to

37:22um

37:23suspend your license for 7 days.

37:26>> I second that.

37:30>> Commissioner Phelps?

37:31>> I make a motion.

37:33>> Yep.

37:34>> Yes.

37:37>> And

37:38uh Commissioner Venus?

37:41>> Yes.

37:42>> Uh Commissioner Phelps?

37:43>> Yes.

37:44>> And Commissioner Ego?

37:47>> I just want to make sure I'm

37:47understanding. So

37:50they've been suspended for 30 days.

37:52>> No, the initial

37:53>> The initial suspension was

37:55>> suspension was a 30-day suspension but

37:56given all these violations were

37:58were justified.

38:00>> Okay.

38:01>> We'll see what you see.

38:03>> Appealed.

38:04>> Yeah, this is one.

38:05>> Appeals from the appeals and now there's

38:06only one left that they agreed on which

38:09is the security. So it's a violation of

38:12the rules and the first offense for that

38:14is 7 days.

38:15>> Okay. Got it. All right. I agree.

38:19>> Okay.

38:21>> Okay.

38:23>> All in favor?

38:24>> Aye.

38:25>> Aye.

38:26>> Okay, thank you.

40:42Just sticking with the original

40:43schedule.

40:44>> Yeah.

40:44>> It's a great plan. It's pretty

40:46>> Yeah. Yeah.

40:47>> wooden burning stove.

40:48>> You should have taken that out of the

40:49meeting.

40:50>> I know, but we shouldn't have brought it

40:51up.

40:52>> the whole time.

40:54>> Okay.

40:55>> For the record.

40:56So, next

40:57>> Can I just be fully start I mean, I

40:58think that's something that we should

41:01check who has security and they uh

41:03provided us with

41:05provided us with

41:06>> Okay,

41:06thanks.

41:07>> Yeah.

41:07>> Just so that

41:08in the event that security put in the uh

41:11and we brought to your attention

41:13Yeah, okay.

41:14>> So, we'll find out now.

41:16>> Who has security and

41:18Okay.

41:20There's probably not that many that have

41:22actual security from another

41:24companies.

41:25>> Well, Teresa and Natalie know better.

41:28They also have issues with the um

41:30with the business so slow.

41:32They don't want to be paying $700,

41:35$1,000 for it.

41:36>> have your own employees as security, but

41:38if you hire an outside firm and they

41:40come in

41:41>> I feel like most people have their own

41:43from what I remember when I was dealing

41:45with I don't think they uh

41:46>> They have their own security there.

41:49Yeah, they're on the payroll, then you

41:51don't need to do it, but if they have an

41:52outside company that comes in, you have

41:54to do it.

42:01Okay.

42:02>> All right, moving on, we have uh um

42:05the police reports.

42:07>> Mhm.

42:10>> The first one is uh from a rally at 22

42:13Monroe Street. It is report number

42:37She said that before we arrived, he paid

42:39his tab and proceeded to leave the

42:41establishment without incident.

42:44She didn't know the name and they asked

42:46if there was anything else, and she said

42:47she was all set.

42:49>> Okay.

42:50>> He ended up paying once he called the

42:52police.

42:53>> What are the letters?

42:54>> Yeah.

42:56>> Second one's for the Lido Cafe, 106

42:58Federal Street, 8:28 at 19:29 hours.

43:03Again, the bartender called for a

43:05customer refusing to leave.

43:07When the officers arrived, they were

43:09directed to the back of the restaurant

43:10where they met they were met by the

43:12bartender.

43:13Um I'm sorry, they met the bartender

43:16went to the back of the restaurant and

43:18>> She said

43:18>> Um

43:20They basically got rid of the patron who

43:22was not wanted to be there and he was

43:24asked several times to leave by the

43:25staff and he didn't so they called the

43:27police.

43:28And when the police showed up, he left

43:30and was very cooperative.

43:34>> Is this one on the Lido Cafe?

43:36>> Lido, yeah.

43:38>> Yeah, okay.

43:43>> This one, sorry, three from Tequila's.

43:45This first one, there's five reports.

43:49I've been from a couple of times and I'm

43:50going to try to like narrow it down as

43:52best I can.

43:54So, originally we got the call I'm

43:56sorry, this is um 26054420.

44:01It's a stabbing at 8:30 on

44:04at 2:08 in the morning.

44:07And I have to say the reason this took

44:08so long to come ahead was it was like a

44:10pretty long investigation afterwards so

44:12it just missed the September meeting,

44:14that's why we're here in the month.

44:16Um

44:18So, we got a call we were dispatched to

44:20Salem Hospital for a stabbing victim.

44:23Um there was a car that dropped the

44:24victim off at the Salem ER and took off.

44:27Um it was a female party.

44:29They got the car and the make drove up

44:32towards the entrance.

44:35Um

44:38Basically, the a male party had a stab

44:40wound to the back of his neck.

44:43Um he was in trauma room for a while. It

44:45was a non-life-threatening but a 5-in

44:48deep stab wound to the back of his neck,

44:50deep in the skin and the superficial to

44:52the back of the year.

44:55Um there was blood on his clothing that

44:57they took when they got in.

45:01blood evidence

45:05The party was stated that he was only

45:07able to remember very minimal

45:09information.

45:10Statements from the victim, he was in

45:11Lynn visiting, he was walking with his

45:13car when he was attacked.

45:19They contacted his wife [clears throat]

45:21and spoke to her briefly asking if she

45:22knew anything. She said that she hadn't

45:24cuz she just flown back to the United

45:25States at 1:00 a.m.

45:27And we had all of the prior information.

45:31And so that's the first report from the

45:32initial officer.

45:35Um another [clears throat] officer wrote

45:36a report from the same night. He was

45:38contacted by the head supervisor of

45:40Salem Hospital Security.

45:43Two ca- uh two pictures from the camera

45:45footage of the female.

45:52Um there was a time stamp shows her

45:54dropping them off. Um obviously what she

45:57was wearing matches the description of

45:59what they were told. And he provided the

46:01pictures to us

46:03through an evidence link.

46:06The third report is the longest one.

46:08It's from the detective who was assigned

46:10to follow up on the on the case.

46:13Um [clears throat]

46:14Lieutenant Nardone, who also works in

46:15CID with us, was able to track the motor

46:17vehicle through the city of Lynn

46:19before being transported to Salem

46:21Hospital through the investigations was

46:22able to determine that prior to the

46:24victim brought to the hospital

46:26it was observed on city cameras in the

46:28parking near the intersection of Liberty

46:29and Central Ave.

46:32Um he observed the female party enter

46:36the vehicle, appearing to be the same

46:38person on Salem Hospital's cameras,

46:41approaching the doors of the hospital

46:42and formally installed.

46:44Um Detective Key was able to obtain

46:46video from inside the bar, which shows

46:48the assault took place inside the bar.

46:52Information was learned that the victim

46:53was stabbed by his girlfriend.

46:59Video obtained is from inside the

47:00restaurant. The view from behind the bar

47:02and the patrons sit as well as behind

47:03the bar while workers serve the

47:05beverages.

47:07Um the beginning of the video, there are

47:08multiple workers behind the bar and two

47:10male parties seated at the bar. One of

47:12the male parties is later learned to be

47:14the victim.

47:19There is a female in the video being

47:20spoken to and restrained behind the bar

47:22by employees. The female party is

47:24believed to be the suspect.

47:27The suspect is observed pointing in the

47:29direction of the victim and appears to

47:32be upset and yelling. She then grabs a

47:33large plastic container

47:36and throws it at the victim.

47:38Attempt to throw at the victim is

47:39knocked out of her hand by another

47:40employee.

47:42The victim then takes a napkin and straw

47:44holder and flings it in the direction of

47:46the suspect.

47:50The victim then begins to grab multiple

47:51bottles of alcohol from behind the bar

47:53and begins to hurl them in in the

47:54victim's direction.

47:57Employees attempt to restrain the

47:59suspect and she stops her behavior for a

48:01moment.

48:02If you I don't know if I'm making it

48:04confusing, the suspect is a waitress

48:06employee.

48:07The suspect grabs what appears to be a

48:09glass from one of the bottles of

48:10alcohol. She hurls it in the direction

48:12of the victim.

48:13She ends up throwing five glasses around

48:15the restaurant until the male party

48:17victim goes behind the bar and attempts

48:19to subdue her. She grabs He grabs her in

48:21a bear hug fashion. However, she still

48:23has a glass in her hand.

48:25She is then observed repeatedly

48:27repeatedly striking the victim with the

48:29glass

48:30as he's still holding on to her.

48:33While striking him with the glass in the

48:35back of the head, it is believed to be a

48:36piece of the glass breaks off.

48:39Um she continues to strike him and

48:42following the first strike after the

48:43glass broke off, a large laceration can

48:45be seen on the

48:47back of his head.

48:50The laceration appears to span from the

48:51back of his left ear close to the center

48:54of the back of his head.

48:57Basically, it appears that the victim

48:59was just holding on to trying to stop

49:00her assaultive behavior.

49:03Uh

49:05The victim eventually walks away. He's

49:07given napkins by staff to help him clean

49:09up his cut.

49:12There's more information about and they

49:13record of all the different video angles

49:15basically gives the same story.

49:18The victim came in the station to be

49:19interviewed. Um the interview was

49:21recorded.

49:24At first the victim

49:26was asked about the assault. He gave the

49:28same story about walking on Union

49:30Street. He was confronted with the fact

49:32that they knew he was lying.

49:34They exited the interview room and he

49:35showed them the video.

49:37And then after seeing the video, he no

49:39longer wanted to speak with the

49:41detectives.

49:43Um

49:47He wanted no charges uh to be brought

49:50against them.

49:52Um prior to the interview, he did state

49:54that he lived with his girlfriend of 1

49:56year.

49:57Um he was extremely nervous and he kept

49:59stating that he didn't want any charges.

50:01He asked if he could leave. He was

50:02allowed to leave.

50:06Um

50:08Detective

50:09Lanzette contacted the victim's father

50:11who's the owner of the bar where it took

50:13place.

50:14Emilio had come into the station

50:17after he was assaulted and spoke with

50:19officers.

50:23He basically ended up identifying Wendy

50:25as his employee.

50:27Claims to not He claimed at first not to

50:29know her last name or information.

50:36The rest of these is about

50:39um

50:41parts of the report are

50:45the relationships involved. Um

50:48but basically they ID'd the female.

50:50Mostly concerned this happened in the

50:52bar.

50:53>> Nobody called.

50:54>> called.

50:54>> And nobody called.

50:56The owner and the

50:58the son who was I guess who was given

51:00the responsibility to lock up at night.

51:02yeah. Both kind of never called. We

51:04would have never known about it until we

51:06saw him at the hospital.

51:08Okay.

51:09It was a certain relationship issue that

51:13I can't really get into like the

51:14immediate details of what happened.

51:16Yeah. But do you get the gist?

51:19>> Do they have like a bouncer there? Like

51:21a security person?

51:22>> mention any security. But like I said,

51:24they they didn't even call us. We had to

51:26go to Saint Luke's Hospital, watch the

51:27surveillance from the hospital to get

51:29the license plate, figure out that oh,

51:31they were at this place, and then

51:33basically go and retrieve the video.

51:36And the owner was not particularly

51:37cooperative until he was told like,

51:39"Hey, this is a licensed establishment

51:41and this is your liquor license." And

51:42then he started to cooperate.

51:46So that was August 30th.

51:49The next one is also Tequila's 2605591.

51:54Sorry, assault and battery with a

51:55dangerous weapon.

52:00This is on 9/7/26 at 1:14 in the

52:03morning.

52:04Um

52:05two officers were stopped at the red

52:07light. While at the red light, they

52:08observed people fighting behind the

52:10scene Speedway on Liberty Street in

52:12front of 80 Central Ave, Tequila's Bar

52:14and Grill.

52:16They observed a

52:17uh male party wearing a grayish shirt on

52:19the ground

52:22in front of the business.

52:24They ID'd the parties I'm sorry, they

52:26later ID'd him. He was on the ground.

52:29They observed two males in dark clothing

52:30punching and kicking him while he was on

52:32the ground.

52:36They activated their blue lights and

52:38they stopped fighting and were trying to

52:39leave the scene.

52:41It goes on to say basically how they

52:46got caught up with all parties involved.

52:48Um

52:49Julio, the victim, had scrapes on both

52:51his knees, but he said he had been hit

52:53both in the head and the stomach and

52:55chest area.

52:56That's Julio what happened and he stated

53:00that he was drinking at Tequila's Bar

53:01and Grill and two guys were drinking in

53:03there. They were all leaving the bar due

53:05to it closing when they began to

53:07exchange words.

53:10They're exchanging words. Um that's

53:12where the fight began.

53:16It ended up They did end up arresting

53:19uh the two parties that did the assault.

53:22And it just notes that during the

53:24booking process, they were able to smell

53:25a moderate odor of alcohol from one of

53:28the suspects and a strong odor of

53:30alcohol from the other one who also had

53:32bloodshot and glassy eyes.

53:41This is another assault 46059859

53:46on 9/26

53:48at 2:32 in the morning.

53:51Um this one, the officer got called in

53:54the front desk of the station. Someone

53:56wanted to report a past assault at

53:58Tequila's Bar and Grill.

54:00They were met by a female party

54:03um and a male party.

54:07The female party is a waitress at the

54:10work restaurant. She was serving

54:13um the boyfriend and his friends at a

54:16table.

54:18While serving the table, an unidentified

54:20female came and sat at there as well.

54:24The waitress thought that this was the

54:26other male friend the male friend's

54:28girlfriend.

54:30After the identified unidentified female

54:32sat at the table, she began to argue

54:34with Maria. She stated that

54:37she was sleeping with Maria's boyfriend.

54:39Both Maria and Juan denied that this

54:42identified female

54:43was sleeping with Juan. And the

54:45unidentified female began to get angry

54:46with Maria. She then grabbed by a nearby

54:49drink of alcoholic beverage and threw

54:50the liquid in it at Maria.

54:53She was able to move out of the way, but

54:54then the unidentified female struck

54:56Maria in the left eye with either a

54:58closed fist or a slap. She was unsure

55:00which.

55:02Maria stated uh she left the table as

55:04her eye hurt and she went to get medical

55:05attention from other staff in the

55:07restaurant.

55:09Um when she was at the station, it was

55:10bleeding and she didn't want to remove

55:12it.

55:13Um there was damage to her eye due to

55:15the contact contact.

55:19She provided a picture of the

55:21unidentified female

55:23um that was captured by the

55:24surveillance.

55:26Um she wanted to press charges and I

55:29think they were going to forward us the

55:31video.

55:33This has not been updated, but again

55:36fight with the wait staff inside the

55:38bar.

55:39We only found out the day later when she

55:40came in to

55:42let us know what happened.

55:56>> That's three separate offenses.

55:58>> Okay.

55:59>> Yep. Interesting. Dangerous. I'm not

56:22with the notice to go.

56:24>> Yeah.

56:30I think it's dangerous inside the park.

56:32>> Call something.

56:38weeks, but

56:40When would you choose it? Would you

57:26here.

57:30Um the sixth one is DM Cannabis

57:34Dispensary.

57:3526061194.

57:39This is uh on October 2nd at 3:15 in the

57:41afternoon.

57:44The report's eight pages. So I'll just

57:46basically summarize what happened. There

57:47was uh three

57:49>> Mhm.

57:49>> uh male parties in a car, one male party

57:52outside the car. One of our drug task

57:54force detectives kind of watch them cuz

57:56they're on the parking lot of a

57:56dispensary. They all obviously look

58:00well under the age of 21.

58:03Um he watches them as the

58:06driver from the vehicle gives the guy

58:08outside the car money.

58:11Um [clears throat] as he's watching he

58:12sees the person who's talking with

58:14outside the car come out, give him a

58:16black container and some change. He then

58:19gets into his car, goes one way. The

58:21other car goes another way and they

58:23separate.

58:25Uh he pulls the car over with the the

58:27three juveniles in it. Um they were

58:30cooperative, they're apologetic. He does

58:32identify them all as 17-year-old high

58:34school students, not Lynn students from

58:37another community.

58:39And

58:41he actually went

58:43I spoke to everyone's parents. He

58:46figured out the name of the person um

58:50who had the

58:52Obviously they they told the officer

58:53that our friend does it for us. We give

58:55him the money. He has a fake ID.

58:58So they he went to the house where that

59:02person lived and he wasn't home, but he

59:03talked to the father. Eventually

59:07um he does get in touch with the the

59:11father, gets in touch with the son and

59:14he furnishes the website where he bought

59:16the ID.

59:18It's in the report somewhere, but it's

59:20and basically the website guarantees

59:22that these IDs will pass a black light

59:25test and they will scan properly.

59:28So,

59:29uh

59:31the detective went back and spoke to

59:32both managers on duty

59:35asking why they were able to

59:38approve this sale and they said they do

59:40have a scanner.

59:42Um

59:43>> [clears throat]

59:45>> They they have a process where they

59:47always check the ID and scan it.

59:52They they I think um the detective

59:54brought the um

59:56ID back to show them and I think it

59:58didn't properly scan.

1:00:00So, they did say that they were going to

1:00:03do their own internal investigation.

1:00:07I don't think they they were going to

1:00:09give us that internal investigation, but

1:00:11I don't think they

1:00:12have Yeah,

1:00:13get to that as

1:00:19>> So, how did the police officer know it

1:00:20was fake?

1:00:22>> Um well

1:00:23be um because he's 17 and said he was

1:00:2621.

1:00:27So, when it went scanned, it comes up

1:00:30with the information and it showed

1:00:32>> Wasn't any indication visually that um

1:00:36>> No, cuz it even passed It has like it's

1:00:38pretty Yeah, it's

1:00:40Um so,

1:00:43I should put this

1:00:46on record that a manager was a Kyle

1:00:48Rodriguez, Maria Badley. They were very

1:00:51cooperative according to the officer.

1:00:52When I asked them, um

1:00:54they said they would conduct an internal

1:00:56investigation, email a copy of those

1:00:57findings.

1:00:59Um

1:01:01They also informed him that they would

1:01:03contact their legal counsel and abide by

1:01:05any policies set forth by the Cannabis

1:01:07Control Commission.

1:01:10And yeah, so that's all I have here now.

1:01:12If we when he gives us the If we get

1:01:14forwarded that report, we'll I'll I'll

1:01:16check with him and get it to you guys.

1:01:18It does seem like they were kind of

1:01:20duped by a really good ID that actually

1:01:23scanned.

1:01:37>> But this establishment did not know

1:01:38exactly that that was a fake ID.

1:01:41>> No, they it seems and I can get more

1:01:43information, but I remember when he was

1:01:44talking to the detective, it seems that

1:01:47the kid was able to get through the

1:01:48door.

1:01:50They checked the ID and they scanned the

1:01:51ID and it scanned like a normal ID.

1:01:54Gave it back to him and I mean, I think

1:01:57he purchased like 3 and 1/2 g of a small

1:02:00container of weed.

1:02:01But um

1:02:04yeah, I think everything about the ID

1:02:06looked real and usually when you when

1:02:07you scan them,

1:02:09if it's not a real ID, it won't. But it

1:02:11scanned and then the everything all the

1:02:13information came up that it was legit.

1:02:17>> So can we hold the blame to the

1:02:18establishment?

1:02:20>> No, it's almost like you want to look

1:02:21into the people selling the IDs cuz

1:02:25>> Is is that website new to to you your

1:02:27team?

1:02:28>> Yeah, I've never I never heard of it

1:02:30before. I'm sure I should know and um

1:02:32Detective Calvin Judy's probably looking

1:02:33into it. He's pretty thorough, so

1:02:37>> Was it Do you know if it was new for the

1:02:39establishment as well? Like if they if

1:02:41they weren't aware of of these websites

1:02:43and

1:02:44>> Yeah, I don't I don't uh I mean,

1:02:46obviously people get fake IDs, but

1:02:48they're never this good. They're always

1:02:49usually once you scan them, so this kid

1:02:52had to know going in that it was going

1:02:53to scan.

1:02:54Usually a fake ID, you can look at it,

1:02:57sometimes it'll pass the look test, but

1:02:59usually the scan the scan isn't all the

1:03:01Massachusetts stores and bars now are

1:03:03pretty if it's not on that registry, it

1:03:05won't go in, so I don't know how they

1:03:06were able to scan it and get an

1:03:08appropriate response.

1:03:09>> Right.

1:03:10>> But I I don't think it's the business's

1:03:13fault.

1:03:13>> Right.

1:03:18And something like that.

1:03:19Yeah, I don't know.

1:03:28>> I think sometimes they'll pass like the

1:03:30black light and think that but then once

1:03:32you scan in they reject it and kick you

1:03:34out.

1:03:35Anyway but

1:03:38Uh yeah, this is a Raleigh

1:03:41last one 26061662

1:03:44on 10 5 at 1:27.

1:03:47Uh there's a report of a fight with a

1:03:49knife.

1:03:51Officers were directed inside the

1:03:53establishment where they observed a male

1:03:54party laying on the ground being

1:03:56rendered aid by staff in a Raleigh.

1:04:00Um

1:04:11laceration to the right calf, and

1:04:13superficial lacerations on both legs and

1:04:15upper back area.

1:04:18Um they were trying to gather

1:04:59walk away towards Washington Street on

1:05:01the sidewalk.

1:05:03Cow stated the assailant continued

1:05:05following before he was attacked. He was

1:05:06unable to remember how it originated but
