used

and
was
logged
into
boston
police
evidence.
At
the
end
of
the
report,.
D
Yes,
please,
I
spoke
with
my
clients,
I
did
my
due
diligence
here
and
it
appears
to
me
from
the
report
and
where
I
gathered
from
the
the
clients
and
all
the
witnesses
that
basically
there
was
no
fight
between
between
the
patrons
here.
What
we
have
is
a
very
violent,
extremely
violent
man
who
even
went
after
the
police
officers.
D
Refusing
cooperation
hitting
the
cruiser.
I
mean
you
name
it.
The
man
came
into
the
to
the
establishment
around
11
30..
He
had
one
drink
and
all
hell
broke
loose
when
he
asked
the
woman
to
go
dance
with
him.
I
created
havoc.
Basically,
my
client,
jorge
castaneda,
tried
to
stop
him
along
with
two
other
gentlemen
who
ended
up
with
blood
all
over
their
body
and
their
head.
He
had
to
have
a
number
of
stitches
in
the
head.
D
I
mean
my
clients
were
basically
a
victim
when
this
gentleman
was
being
violent
and
attacking
everyone
inside
my
client
did
his
best
to
safeguard
all
the
patrons.
At
some
point,
mr
hernandez
left
the
premises
and
my
client
and
the
employees.
What
they
did
is
block
the
the
doors
to
prevent
this
gentleman
from
coming
back,
because
they
saw
him
coming
back
with
a
bat.
D
And
when
he
came
back
with
a
baseball
bat,
he
broke
four
glasses
and
the
whole
doors
of
the
front,
trying
to
attempt
to
come
back
and
probably
kill
all
of
my
clients
and
the
employees
and
destroy
the
whole
place.
So,
as
I
said,
there
is
no
fight
with
the
patrons.
This
is
the
destruction
of
the
property,
the
destruction
of
the
doors
by
this
gentleman
by
hernandez
and.
D
This
is
the
chair
that
was
thrown
to
the
people,
so
we
had
ample
evidence
to
show
that
this
is
an
action
by
one
deranged
man.
I
gather
from
my
clients
that
on
monday
this
happened
on
a
monday.
This
is
not
like
a
friday
or
saturday.
This
is
monday,
and
they
tell
me
that
yesterday
there
was
only
three
people
usually
from
three
to
five,
maybe
seven
people
on
a
monday.
D
B
D
D
This
is
a
freak
accident,
something
that
happened
with
that
deranged
man
that
could
have
happened
anywhere
and
the
the
business
has
been
open
for
since
2019
no
violations
ever
two
of
the
employees
miss
sonia
and
miss
lewis,
they've
been
there
working
even
before
before
mr
jorge
castaneda
took
over
as
a
as
an
owner,
and
they
report
to
me
that
nine
to
12
years
this
never
happened.
Something
like
this
is
a
something
that
that
was
not
expected.
D
Yes,
around
10
30
was
very
quiet,
and
this,
as
I
said,
this
deranged
man
hernandez,
got
in
there
around
11
30
and
he
had
one
drink.
So
I
asked
the
commission
to
dismiss
this
this.
This
violation
is
not
a
true
violation.
This
is
an
act
by
one
crazy
man
and
I'm
so
happy
that
police
ended
up
taking
this
man
into
custody
he's
facing
the
law
he's
facing
five
charges,
and
I
I
thank
the
police
officers
and
mr
castaneda
for
having
taken
swift
action
in
protecting
his
employees.
B
D
B
D
But
it
was
only
12
people.
I
think
the
the
language
barrier
had
a
lot
to
do
with
this,
because
a
lot
of
things,
as
you
can
see,
was
missing
from
the
report.
Only
when,
mr,
I
think
the
puerto
rican
police
officer
came
and
that's
when
everything
got,
you
know
it
was
kind
of
discerned
and
asked
what
happened
because
in
the
beginning
they
told
my
mr
jorge
castanera
was
the
one
who
was
fighting
with
hernandez,
but
it
was
not
the
case
later
he
became
clarified.
D
B
D
Sonia
I
asked
sonia
and
sonia
tells
me
that
he
was
very
well
built
very
muscle
and
he
seemed
fine.
He
was
very
depressed
because
his
wife
was
calling
him
and
he
was
going
to
fly
to
colombia
and
apparently
he's
from
the
dominican
republic.
He
chatted
for
at
least
half
an
hour,
and
I
asked
her.
I
said
that
he
sounded
like
drunk
intoxicated.
He
sounded
fine.

assigned
to
like
this
unit
conducted
a
license
from
its
inspection
of

at

Morrissey

detectives
observed
that
the
common

posted
back
on

This
was
brought
to
the
attention
of
the
person
mr
tyrone

who
stated
he
would
form
his
superiors
as
a
result.
F

In
addition,
this
this
knocker
donuts
is
owned
by
a
group
and
we
went
down
to
one
of
their
locations
down
at
dorchester
avenue
in
adam
street,
which
I
believe
is
the
corporate
women
informed
that
the
gentleman
owned
this
has
since
died,
and
his
wife
is
running.
The
operation
might
be
a
reason,
some
of
the
confusion
but
a
whole
bunch
of
these
dunkin
donuts
were
expired
and
they
were
aware
of
the
area.
We
went
down
and
informed
them
of
that.
F
Yes,
I
think
peter
in
the
office
had
talked
to
them.
We
went
down
the
second
time
he
wanted.
Adam
street
manager
came
from
downstairs
and
she
informed
me
that
there
was
a
husband
and
wife
that
owned
it.
The
husband
has
since
passed,
the
wife
is
running
and
she
might
need
a
little
help
with
the
the
paperwork,
but
I
believe
they
all
renewed
up
at
the
same
time,
because
lady
was
able
to
pull
out
a
2021
common
victory
license
for
the
