That's
your
incident
report.
C
B
C
B
Thank
you.
I
will
I'm
going
to
provide
some
background
in
terms
of
mokumo
latina
and
what
was
going
on
that
at
the
at
the
establishment
plus
what
was
going
on
that
night.
I
I
will
then
turn
it
over
to
mr
fernandez,
who
may
have
some
further
comments
to
make,
but
I
like
to
start
out
by
indicating
to
the
to
the
commissioners
that
the
capacity
at
makuma
latina
is
260..
B
As
we
all
know,
businesses
like
makuma
took
a
real
hit
with
the
pandemic
and
in
order
to
revive
their
business,
one
of
the
things
they
did
is
that
they
hired
promoters
and
these
promoters
focused
on
getting
patrons
to
come
from
the
brockton
area.
Now
this
is
the
first
for
our
for
the
the
licensee,
but
it
was
as
they
saw
it
necessary
in
order
to
keep
their
business
to
get
their
business
revived
and
keep
it
going
now.
B
As
I
said
that
particular
these
promoters
promoted
a
a
the
event
on
coming
to
the
coming
to
makuma
latinos
on
thursday
nights
and
july.
22Nd
was
a
thursday
night
now,
prior
to
that
thursday,
night
july
22nd,
the
promotions
were
done
and
on
the
two
thursdays
prior
there
were
patrons
that
came
in
from
the
brockton
area,
and
nothing
happened
on
those
two
particular
nights.
Now
on
the
night
in
question
july
22nd,
there
was
a
bigger
crowd
that
showed
up
now.
B
Makuba
latina
on
that
night
had
11
security
present.
They
had
two
outside.
They
had
three
by
the
front
door
and
they
had
another
six
who
were
spread
out
along
on
the
floor
of
the
cumberla
latina.
So
again,
there
was
a
total
of
11
security,
and
that
does
not
include
mr
lopes
or
mr
fernandez,
who
were
both
present
that
particular
night.
Now
mr
lopes
was
on
the
floor
that
particular
night,
and
so
was
mr
fernandez.
B
Neither
of
them
saw
a
fight
between
two
women
that
particular
night.
Now
I'm
saying
a
fight
between
two
women
because
later
on,
there
was
a
fight
inside
between
two
men,
but
at
that
point
that
night
mr
lopes
and
mr
fernandez
saw
no
fight
between
two
two
women.
Now
as
it
turns
out.
This
is
just
before
closing
that
this
occurred
and
a
quarter
of
two
145.
B
Mr
mr
lopes,
mr
fernandez,
excuse
me
turned
up
the
lights,
in
other
words,
to
tell
people
that
it's
time
to
go
now
when
he
turned
up
the
lights.
He
noted
across
the
room
two
gentlemen:
getting
getting
having
starting
to
have
a
fight.
He
and
his
security
broke
these
two
gentlemen
up
and
then
started
to
escort
them
out
the
front
door.
B
As
I
indicated,
this
was
an
unusual,
unexpected
incident
that
occurred
at
macomb
latina.
Now.
What
I
I
think
is
important
for
the
commissioners
to
know
is
what
did
makumba
in
light
of
what
happened
on
july
22nd.
What
did
makuma
do
about
it?
Well,
what
they
did
number
one
is
they
stopped
holding
they
stopped
opening
on
thursday
nights.
They
have
not
been
open
on
thursday
night
since
july
22nd,
the
other
is
that
they
stop
the
promotions.
B
E
You
have
anything
to
add
right
at
this
time.
Yes,
all
right
good
morning,
remember.
My
name
is
max
fernandez.
One.
The
owner,
like
mr
bill,
said
that
we
was
hit
hard.
We
did.
We
tried
a
new
night.
It
was
it's
not
very
good,
very
well,
but
I
attracted
very
young
people
from
a
different.
This
is
a
totally
different
crowd
from
minecraft
my
regulars,
the
first
night.
It
was
good
second
night.
Very
good
third
night
was
excellent.
E
E
It
was,
it
was
tough,
it
sprayed
up
a
little
bit,
it
went
outside
but,
like
I
said,
I
had
a
lot
of
stuff
helping
me
out
when
we
took
the
two
large
group
outside
there
was
a
lot
of
place,
a
lot
of
police
presence.
I
see
that
there's
still
no
respect
for
the
police
officers.
Now
they
they
was
fighting
in
front
of
police
officers,
and
I
didn't
like
that.
So,
like
I
said,
was
some
good
nights.
We
met.
We
made
decent
amount
of
money.
E
It
was
one
of
the
one
of
the
biggest
nights
on
on
makuma,
usually
saturday
and
sunday,
but
thursday
was
pretty
good,
but
from
what
decision
we
sit
down,
we
met
me
and
john,
mr
john.
We
sit
down
discuss.
I
wouldn't
think
that
was
a
good
to
continue.
What
does
that
was
gonna,
be?
Maybe
it
can
get
worse
and
maybe
miss
damage
by
all
the
nights
we
decided
to
close
down
so
that
crowd
will
go
away
and
maybe
you
will
pay
in
the
future.
B
Yes,
I
would
only
add
to
what
mr
fernandez
has
just
testified.
To
is
that,
yes,
he
indicated
there
was
a
detail
that
night
there
wasn't
police
detail
that
night.
They
had
asked
for
two
police
tale
police
details,
but
they
got
they
had
one.
They
had
one
police
detail
out
there
and
they
tried
to
take
every
precaution
they
could.
That
would
emphasize
that.
B
As
I
said,
they
had
11
security
plus
the
detail
there
that
night
and
this
unexpectedly
happened
and
they
they
reacted
to
to
make
sure
that
no
one
got
seriously
hurt
that
had
to
be
taken
to
the
hospital
and
that
no
one
had
to
be
arrested
by
the
police.
It's
unfortunate,
and
then
they
took
steps
as
you
could
as
you've
been.
As
you
heard,
they
took
steps
to
to
correct
that
situation,
and
mr
mr
fernandez
says
you
know
it
was.
It
was
a
good
night
financially,
but.
E
F
B
D
E
Those
are
phone
calls
a
lot
of
reservation
for
the
night,
the
thursday
before
that
that
that
thursday,
we're
talking
about
it
was
maybe
1
50,
and
then
there
was
a
lot
of
people
was
talking
about
it
was.
It
was
a
lot
of
people
talking
about
so
we
did.
I
was
expecting
a
good
crowd
and
then,
but
it
was.
This
is
a
totally
different
crowd.
I'm
not
used
to
never
seen
this
before
my
problem
is
we
we,
like
mostly
family,
like
people
that
go
there.
E
D
E
E
The
lights
on,
yes,
flashlights,
oh
my
god,
all
my
staff
has
a
flashlight,
that's
very
strong.
Tell
them
go
everybody
walk
out.
You
know
time
to
go
time
to
go
finish.
Your
life
finish.
Your
drink
finish
this
drink
yeah,
the
buy
me
clothes
like
one
150
buys
clothes
like
I
said
the
light
is
very
bright.
We
can
work
on
that
very
bright,
and
my
security
from
this
from
the
beginning
to
the
end,
walked
them
very
slowly
and
towards
the
exit
door.
E
Yes,
it
didn't
start
inside.
Okay,
yes,
but
I
was
like
I
was
back
in
the
middle.
I
was
right.
I
started
where,
where
I
was
okay,
so
we
one
one,
there
was
one
security
that
was
next
to
me
when
one
guy
started
talking,
I
mean
you
know
right
in
the
middle.
We
got
in
the
middle,
we
worked
on
the
out,
but
it
was
the
other
one.
Guy
had
a
large
group
behind
it.
E
So
when
we
walked
one
out,
the
other
one
threw
a
punch
to
another
group
and
then
it
started
and
started
spraying
a
little
bit.
But
oh
my
god
was
there.
We
tried
to
walk.
We
took
them
out
by
the
time
we
took
him
out.
They
started
getting
us
high
outside
in
front
of
the
club
across
the
street,
but
everybody
was
working
out.
Oh
my
god
was
working
up
and
we
broke
it
up
outside
and
when
I,
when
I
see
there
was
a
lot
there
was
a
larger
amount
of
police
officers
outside
when
I
went.

sides

and
a
large
crowd
at
2
a.m,
in
front
of
the
establishment,
in
violation
of
mass
general
law.
Chapter
138,
section
64.,
who
is
here
on
behalf
of
the
licensee.
A
G
G
G
On
top
of
that,
there
was
probably
anywhere
from
40
to
50
cars,
double
parked
on
both
sides
of
tremont
street,
which
is
usually
the
case
not
as
many,
but
we
often
see
a
lot
of
double
parked
cars
in
in
front
of
that
establishment.
On
that
particular
night,
there
was,
there
was
an
excessive
amount
of
double
parked
cars.
G
With
that
we
observed
that
there
was
public
drinking
going
on.
They
do
have
a
bit
of
a
patio
set
up
if
you're
looking
at
the
establishment,
it'd
be
on
the
right
hand,
side,
which
is
hammond
street,
but
there
was
public
drinking
all
all
about
the
establishment
lodge
crowd,
etc.
As
a
result,
I
made
my
way
into
the
establishment.
G
I
was
made
aware
that
they
did
not
have
an
entertainment
license.
It
had
actually
expired.
As
a
result
of
all
of
those
observations,
I
issued
a
code.
35
license
premise
violation.
I
will
say,
though,
that
miss
brittany
and
I'm
sorry-
I
don't-
I
don't
recall
her
last
name
and
I
I
want
to
be
polite.
I
don't
know
her.
I've
never
met
her
until
that
night.
She
was
very
cordial
with
us
and
it
was
very
cooperative
with
us.
G
Nonetheless,
those
violations
were
located,
and
one
of
the
things
that
she
had
mentioned
was
that
she
was
in
the
process
of
getting
the
entertainment
license
made
mention
that
she
had
paid
the
fee,
but
didn't
have
the
license
so,
but
it
was
still
an
expired.
Entertainment
license
my
concern
overall,
as
the
patrol
supervisor.
That
night
was
the
large
crowd
that
was
outside
and
the
observations
that
multiple
groups
were
starting
to
get
into
pushing
and
shoving
matches.
G
As
a
result
of
that,
we
called
for
surrounding
districts
to
send
additional
help
because
the
crowd
was
so
big.
So
we
had
I'm
in
district
four,
that's
where
the
establishment
is
located.
We
had
district
b2,
send
senate
offices
and
we
also
had
district
14
from
brighton,
send
additional
offices,
and
it
took
quite
a
quite
a
bit
of
effort
to
get
the
crowd
to
to
move
along
and
be
on
their
way.
But
those
were
my
overall
concerns.
D
F
No,
I
don't
have
any
questions.
What
happened
was
things
got
out
of
hand
very
quickly
and
we
there
there
weren't
any
altercations
inside
the
club.
I
was
a
part
of
helping
the
security
kind
of
disperse
the
the
public,
and
there
was
a
young
woman.
I
believe
that
she
was
in
the
police
academy
that
had
an
issue
with
a
restraining
order
that
we
were
trying
to.
We
were
trying
to
communicate
with
her.
She
had
a
family
member
inside
and
being
that
she
was
inside
and
her
sister
was
inside.
F
We
were
trying
to
break
that
up
and
get
her
outside
of
the
establishment,
but
she
wasn't
really
respecting
those
those
orders
so
that
that's
kind
of
how
I
made
it
outside
to
see
the
the
large
group
as
the
police
started
to
started
to
kind
of
embark
on
breaking
up
the
crowd.
The
security
in
the
back
was
a
separate
company.
I
think
you
guys
have
it
on
the
report.
F
They
were
in
the
rear,
which
is
not,
I
think
in
the
report.
It
states
that
slade's
parking
lot
in
the
rear
of
our
building
and
it's
not
our
parking
lot
and
so
patrons
can
pull
into
that
parking
lot
and
park
their
car,
maybe
to
pick
up
people
or
just
a
hanging
loiter,
and
that
that
can
cause
this.
This
large
crowd
that
that
began
to
circle
the
club,
but
you
know
we're
not
we're
not
to
we're
not
responsible
for
managing
that
parking
lot.
F
It's
the
parking
lot
for
the
residents
in
roxy
homes
and
they
have
private
security
that
manage
that
and
they
since
that
event,
and
what
I've
observed
typically
is
they
come
around
12
to
1
a.m
and
they
park
their
car
there
to
discourage
people
from
parking
in
that
area.
So
on
that
night
there
there
wasn't
any
security
until
2
a.m.
There
were
many
cars
parked
in
the
in
the
rear
people.
Just
you
know
hanging
out
drinking
outside
of
their
cars.
F
You
know,
arguably,
a
lot
of
people
that
were
not
inside
slaves,
maybe
coming
to
pick
up
people
or
just
hanging
out
in
the
community,
so
that
that
kind
of
built
up
a
crowd
in
the
rear
and
and
then
also
along
the
side
of
our
patio.
There
were
people
hanging
in
the
patio
area,
but
there
there
were
two.
There
were
two
altercations
at
that
moment
that
were
about
to
turn
into
fights
that
we
were
containing
as
the
police
came
to
the
establishment.
D
F
I
think
at
that
time
it
was
starting
to
be
an
issue
due
to
the
fact
of
the
weather.
The
liquor
store
next
door.
Folks
are
going
there
as
well
as
slaves
as
a
restaurant,
so
we
we've
done
a
lot
to
manage
folks
wanting
to
come
in
and
get
you
know
food
to
go
as
well
as
wanting
to
be
a
part
of
the
club
or
pick
up
people.
There's
there's
a.
D
F
F
D
F
D
So
that
you
just
I'm
just
trying
to
get
out,
you
just
described
how
some
people
were
gathering
an
outdoor
patio
and
one
of
the
issues
that
the
licensing
board
has
is
that
these
outdoor
patios
are
supposed
to
be
all
the
tables
and
chairs
are
supposed
to
be
removed.
I
think
at
10
o'clock
at
night
and
locked
up
to
prevent
people
from
loitering,
okay,.
F
F
F
F
F
Yeah
we,
we
definitely
had
had
an
issue
with
that,
and
you
know
at
times,
if
we
thought
that
things
were
getting
out
of
control,
we
may
call
upon
the
police
to
deal
with
certain
patrons
before
that.
We
we
had
a
lot
of
issues
with
people
just
not
wanting
to
wear
their
masks,
not
wanting
to
leave
the
establishment.
F
I
F
On
that
night,
that
wasn't
something
that
we
we
had
kind
of
put
into
motion.
It's
something
that
if
you
pulled
up
to
the
very
front
of
slades
and
the
security,
could
see
you,
then
they
would
do
something
about
it.
But
if
you
think
about
the
street,
slaves
is
on
the
corner,
so
folks
would
park.
Well.
F
A
They
will
be
not
be
heard
today.

a

with
a

that
made
it

was
over

Detectives
used
a

that
verified
the
license
was
fraudulent.
The

was
confiscated

will
be

Mr

J
Yeah
just
a
few
questions
for
the
sergeant
when
you
were
inside
the
promise,
I
believe
you
already
had
stated,
but
the
licensee
was
cooperative
with
you
you're
with
yourself
and
the
detectives.
Yes,
sir,
and
when
you
were
inside
there
were
no
other
patrons
who
appeared
to
be
otherwise
unruly
or
anything
of
that
sort.
No,
they
were
well
behaved,
and
it
was
just
this
one
individual
who
presented
a
fraudulent
id
to
the
detectives.

I

I
would
just
state
that
again
that
they
have
posted
security
staff
at
the
door
and
they
physically
inspect
ids
when
they
have.
You
know
patrons
coming
in.
I
believe
it's
thursdays,
fridays
and
saturdays
that
they
do
an
ordinary
course
carding
all
patrons
when
they
come
in.

Good
morning
I'll
be
reading
that
from
a
police
report,
which
I
wrote
on
on
sunday
august,
15

21,
trying
to
detect
the
willing
gallagher
and
detective
hernandez
to
sign
to
the
bpd
licensed
permission
to
conduct
a
licensed
premise.
Inspection
of
the
good
life
located
at
28
kingston
street
in
boston
upon
entering
the
establishment
detectives,
asked
the
front
door
staff.
What
kind
of
patrons
inside
the
establishment
was
staff
members
say
that
they
had
a
count
of
178
patrons
once
inside
the
establishment
detectives
noticed
the
basement
will
appear
to
be
overcrowded,
detective
hernandez
performed.
L
While
reviewing
the
licenses
and
permits
of
the
establishment
detectives
learned,
the
capacity
for
the
basement
level
was
set
at
99
patrons.
Excuse
me.
99
persons
detectives
brought
this
attention
to
the
person
in
charge.
Mr
peter
fiomura,
mr
filmora
stated
that
he
would
bring
the
promise
into
compliance
as
a
result
of
what
detectives
observe
scientific
allegations
licensed
permanent
inspection
number
zero.
Four:
eight:
zero:
zero
zero
for
overcrowding
on
the
basement
of
the
establishment,
just
a
few
more
assigned
for
an
accepted
notice
as
well.
N
N
N
That
night
we
had
five
and
we
had
a
pretty
big
line
outside
and
the
way
in
the
past
this
has
happened
to
is
sometimes
patrons
from
upstairs
with
two
levels:
they
might
go
to
the
bathroom
and
then
kind
of
go
down
to
the
lounge
downstairs
and
not
having
enough
security
staff.
That
night.
I
think
the
extra
patrons
made
it
to
the
downstairs
floor,
taking
us
over
capacity
overall,
I
had
done
the
count
prior
to
when
sergeant
detective
and
detective
hernandez
showed
up,
and
I
counted
the
176
176.
N
But
when
we
did
the
walkthrough
together
and
detective
fernandez
did
the
manual
account
he
saw
that
we
were
over
and
I
think
we
had
a
discussion
that
I
determined
it
was
probably
because
of
the
lack
of
letting
people
go
into
the
downstairs
and
keeping
them
on
the
upstairs
portion
of
the
establishment.
So,
as
a
result,
we
were
over
capacity
and
one
of
the
faults
being
that
we
were
understaffed,
with
security
and
foreign
reason
that
we
had
to
we
work
with
some
djs
and
people.
We
don't
normally
work
with.
