assigned to a paid detail for Bruins game at the TD Garden 100 Legends way Boston. Multiple TD Garden detail officers responded to Loge section two for initial report by TD Garden security for unconscious mail that fell down to Loge
section two from the above balcony level. As officers gathered more information from multiple witnesses in the area, it was determined that the victim later identified as David Johnson was pushed while standing on the stairs and fell backwards. Officers Garnney and
Stock along with other TD guard security located the victim, Mr. Johnson lying on the ground semi-conscious breathing with his eyes slightly open in row AA of club section 113 and immediately began to render aid the requested EMS response to

injury is pending further evaluation at Mass General at this time. While on route to Mass General Hospital, the victim told officer Carell and EMTs that he drank quote seven beers and had no memory of this in did not know why he was one of the hospital. KD Garden
detail officers continued to gather witness statements to locate and identify the suspect. Witness number one, Jason Robert Hadley, stated that he was seated in the same row and observed the victim, Johnson, to be intoxicated, agitating the suspect in the suspect's
wife/girlfriend. He observed the victim put his middle finger directly in the suspect's wife's face. When number two, Clark stated that both the victim and the suspect were heckling each other back and forth. He then observed the victim continue to inch closer to the suspect and his wife
at which point the suspect grabbed the victim by the neck and pushed him which caused him to fall backwards down the stairs. For December 3, Shannon Smith provided a suspect description of a white male with long black hair wearing glasses, New York Rangers hat and
jersey. She stated that the disturbance ensued while the victim Johnson was harassing other Rangers fairs and appeared to be intoxicated. Witness number three stated that she observed Johnson's friends were trying to get him to leave and avoid
continued escalation, but the fight continued. Witness number three stated that the victim was pushed down the stairs where he rolled down the stairs to the lower foyer. Witness four stated TD Garden Security Christian Rays stated that during the intermission between the
second and third periods, he observed a couple, the suspect and his female companion having a discussion and it looked like the female was trying to get the suspect to leave. He then observed the victim and the suspect having an argument. The suspect
who was standing on the higher up level pushed the victim down four stairs. At this point, he notified his security team and waited for Boston police to respond. Witness number four stated that the suspect left right after he pushed the victim. And witness number five,
Isabella Picarella was seated in the area and stated that she observed the suspect and the victim arguing. She saw the victim fall about three to five steps down and observed the suspect go up the stairs toward the club level to leave the area. The description of
the suspect was broadcast over the air on channel 2 and a TD garden security. Suspect was later identified as Aaron Tucker, date of birth 999 1977 who was seated in section 113 and bro E. The suspect Tucker was described

>> Oh, yeah. Sorry. Scroll to the bottom there. And at approximately 8:45 p.m. while writing the original 111 detective and received a phone call from Richard Rayi, date of birth September
1st, 1957, who stated he was seated in section 113 row A of the Bruins game that afternoon at the Titi Garden. Mr. stated that he was already home in Rhode Island, but wanted to report the onset of neck pain related to the victim falling into him while he landed in the lower rows of the above section.

scheduled event at the venue. Uh the next report is mine. Uh on 1:30 2026 at about 1:30m size detective William Gallagher detective Eddie Hernandez assigned to license premise unit met with Mr. Eric Rivers of the TD Garden

the suspect. The original BPD incident report mentions in several witness accounts that the victim was intoxicated. These statements are as follows. Victim told P Canel that he drank seven beers and he
does not remember anything. Witnesses number one and three report the victim being intoxicated as well. As a result of this incident in witness statements, Sergeant Detective Gallagher fish is licensed premise inspection notice number 055 095 to the TD garden

licensed premises. Correct. >> Correct. The issuance of this particular violation was in main part due to the initial Boston police report uh mentioning several witness accounts that the victim was intoxicated.
>> Yes. >> And one of those witnesses noted in your report was officer Carnell who we just heard from. Correct. >> Correct. And that, excuse me, the victim reportedly told officer Carnell, according to your report, that he did

he consumed. Correct. >> I'm not sure they were asked, but no, you're correct. >> Okay. Or for the record, where he may have consumed prior to being at the licensed premises. >> Correct. >> Thank you very much. Um, no further
questions for Sergeant Detective Gallagher at this time. U Madam Chair, members of the board, if I may, um and kind of taking each violation separately at first and dealing with the assault, alleged assault and battery, um initially and then the second charge
after. There is um ample surveillance video of this incident um available. I know are having some trouble um with viewing the video, but I think if you're able to view that um with Sergeant Detective
Gallagher and and Detective Hernandez after, you will see that this video will show you um the suspect and the victim in their seats for um a long period between the first and second and into the third
period of this particular hockey game on January 10th at approximately 2:00 p.m. um on the video midway through the first and second period, you'll see that the victim is in his seat and the female who
is identified as Kelly O'Donnell who is the wife of the suspect is initially seated two rows behind the victim in a ranger's jersey. Um around that time, the friend of the victim who was identified as Mr. Mr. McMillan walks up
to the section with um or down, I should say, with one can of beer. At approximately 2:10 p.m., you can see the victim walk uh up the stairs and a few mments few moments later back down to his seat. He appears to be walking fine.
There's no clear sign or indication of intoxication. When he gets back to his seat, he is observed talking to people around him in the row immediately behind him, which is not the suspect and his female companion. Um, he's simply observed
chatting and standing or otherwise minding his own business, sitting in his seat and watching the game. At this point in time, he can be observed with a can um in his hand at this point, which is likely um we've determined it to be a
purchase of a fiddle head beer. We did previously provide the board with the receipts that of a purchase made by Mr. McMillan who was a friend of the victim that he was with. Um that indicated one uh can of Bud Light was purchased and
two um cans of fiddlehead uh beer were purchased. Uh for the record, there were no other purchases found or identified by the victim in this case and no other of alcohol by the friend. the only other person that we have any indication or
knowledge that the vict victim was with that day. Um at 2:21 p.m. you can see the Rangers fan who is the suspect sit in his seat. Um, at 2:22, notably, the suspect and victim
actually cheers each other, which I think it is important to note that this wasn't a situation where there's ongoing um, heckling or aggressiveness between the two. There seems to be friendly banter that's happening long before the actual incident ever takes place. Um,
following that time, the victim's seen talking to people directly behind him. He's not even interacting with the suspect and his wife. He's shaking hands with a person directly behind him. 20 minutes 20 to 25 minutes later, notably, you see him holding the same can um of
what's presumed to be beer. You don't actually see him drinking much from it at all. And at 3:00 p.m., he's still 40 minutes later or an hour later when he first got there just watching the game, seated fine between the periods, chatting with the two males in the same
row as him. Um, so for all throughout all that time, there's nothing notable seen between the suspect and the victim other than the previous toast of drinks. There's no again no obvious signs of intoxication. Uh, I think that down to the seconds is
important here to show that this kind of happened without warning and no indication that what ensued with the victim being pushed and falling was about to occur. But at 30349, which occurred between the intermission um before the third with the Bruins
strongly ahead, the victim is standing and talking to people in the road directly behind him. Not necessarily even that we can tell the suspect and his wife. At 3:04, the friend of the victim, Mr. McMillan, already on the stairs, it looks like waiting for the victim to leave. You can tell the victim
says something to the suspect who then stands up and it looks like Mc Mr. McMillan is seen leaning over like he's coaxing the victim to leave. 29 seconds later, the victim points. It's not clear if it's
the middle finger towards the suspect and his wife and the Rangers fan suddenly stands up and the altercation occurs at 30443 seconds later where suddenly the Rangers fan appears to reach for the victim and ends up pushing him in the neck causing
him to fall backwards down the three rows. It's not clear whether he necessarily goes to push him. It looks like he goes to grab him and maybe John Mr. Johnson or the victim leans backwards. Either way, obviously, contact is made and it causes injury and causes Mr. Johnson to
fall. Um thereafter, you can see on the video, the suspect leaves immediately and um the friend goes down to render aid and check on um the victim. Other people are seen around trying to render
aid. Um an usher immediately responds with three other ushers responding. And then shortly thereafter, several guard and security including supervisors, members of the alcohol compliance team of course as well as BPD paid detail as
we heard already respond as well. This also includes a response from Mr. Joins who's on the call with us too. Um Mr. joins who can certainly attest to the banter that occurs between rival sports teams that this was not a situation where you had any constant disturbance
within the crowd um or around these seats from these two patrons. Um he intently reviewed the footage of the subject patrons in this section and in their seats and can can certainly answer any questions specific to that. And again, he also responded to the scene.
Again, um for the board's consideration, the video will paint the whole picture and show there was nothing eventful occurring between the two until less than a minute leading up to the actual assault. Had it been, whether it was behavior of heckling or behavior of presumed intoxication which was causing
um a supposed disturbance, staff would have seen and would have approached and or ejected that person. But that simply wasn't the case here. Um I think the board um knows that this for this lency public safety is paramount certainly of all patrons entering the doors at the
licensed premises. Um and as the board is also aware there are several layers of staff security alcohol compliance Boston police detail to ensure public safety of all individuals that cross their threshold for events at the garden. This was a very very unfortunate
but not foreseeable incident once you're able to view the video and see um you know that that supports that premise. Um, as for service to alleged service to an
intoxicated patron, um, in addition to obviously incorporating by reference to discussion that we just had regarding the actual assault and battery, we have no evidence of any employee or agent of the gardens serving alcohol to an intoxicated patron. Also, there's no evidence presented regarding what was
consumed when, or where, other than the receipt that was previously provided to the board indicating a purchase by the victim's friend with uh three alcoholic beverages and a pizza made at approximately 2:05 p.m. that day.
Additionally, the witness victim isn't present here to call into question his distinct memory of the number of drinks he allegedly consumed, but again in the same sentence had no idea what had happened as or why he was being transported to the hospital with a head injury. Which notably, for the record,
there's no allegation known by the victim himself that even by the victim himself that all these drinks were consumed, if taken on its face is true, that they were consumed at the licensed premises. Uh, Mr. Rivers uh can testify if needed, of course, that he touched
base with the server that um is on record as providing the drinks to um Mr. McMillan and presumably Mr. Johnson for that 2:05 p.m. receipt. She is an employee um with the licensed premises for nearly 13 years and for the record
has no record of discipline during her time there and has completed all required alcohol service training. She had no specific recollection of serving either one of them. Nothing unusual or notable of any patrons she served that day either. Um for the record as well,
we also reviewed the point of sale on several different occasions with all possible versions of names and these were the only purchases ever found totaling to those three drinks. So again, there's no details regarding what was consumed other than the one tab of the known friend he was with or no
details or knowledge regarding what if any perhaps any other substances he may have ingested or consumed. I do think it's worth noting and as the board is aware, it's it's the lences own internal policy that all staff observe patrons for visible signs of impairment upon entry and throughout the duration
they're on the premises. patrons go through many layers of staff who are constantly observing behaviors to ensure compliance with all rules and regulations with while they're in the building. And again, every staff member is trained in observing patrons for visible signs of impairment. And as
indicated previously, this incident escal escalated quickly and was not foreseeable. Um, with that being said, we're certainly happy to answer any questions that the board might have and um, Mr. Jones and Mr. Rivers um can answer any questions as well.
Thank you, Attorney Scan. At this time, we will see if the board has any questions for you, starting with Chairman Joyce. >> Yes, thank you. I do have questions. Um, thank you. You did I know you did forward me the receipts. They're not in the file, but I just asked Annie to put them in the file so that the other
commissioners can see them. So my questions, I know we've discussed this before, is um relative to service of alcohol to intoxicated patron and going through, we've had these discussions before, but I want to get on the record. Your
training of employees um first of all, what size drinks did um were served to the victim? We don't know which he was consuming, but on the receipt the um
one Bud Light is, let me just find it here. >> Says it's 16 oz. >> 16 oz. And there's two uh 19.2 ounces of fiddle head. >> Okay. So, I know it's it's no surprise I
have an issue with the size of drinks that are served in what is considered one drink versus the number of ounces. And my concern comes from a place of how you train your staff to look for signs of impairment. According to the playbook that you've shared with me, they're they
are trained on looking for signs of impairment based off the average size drink, which in your playbook says it's 12 ounces of beer. Do you serve 12 ounces of beer? anywhere in the pet garden.
>> We do have 12 ounce sizes in certain locations. >> Okay. So, appendix P was supposed to is supposed to show me where that is, but I don't see appendix P in this playbook, and I don't think I ever received it. And I think that was
>> unless it's mislabeled. >> But would you say the majority of the drinks are 12 ounces or the majority of majority of the beers at 12 ounces or the majority is 16? >> The majority would be 16. >> So, tell me about how you train for signs of impairment with your staff. If
your if your playbook here is based off of looking for signs of impairment based off 12 oz beers, but the majority of them are 16 oz beers. And this person was served two 20 oz fiddle heads and one 16oz beer.
>> Oh, see if you're looking at the sizes and how much they're served. The 12 oz beers, you know, if you bought a 12 oz beer in a restaurant, a server is able to actually track how many beers a certain person is having. So that would matter there. in a concessions environment where people may go up to
different stands or may be able to they can go to a different stand, they can go to a different bartender, it's a little bit hard to track exactly how many a person has had by count. So, they're looking for signs such as you, you know, impairment, loss of
judgment, loss of inhibitions, uh loss of physical motor skills, that that type of stuff. That's where most of our training is focused. The other thing would be you know we limit the amount of drinks a single person can buy to two on that for >> but you're saying drinks but the you're
saying drinks based on 16 ounces which is 32 which is more than the average size correct. >> Right. >> So like tell me how you're training your staff. Like I'm concerned that you're training your staff based on on things
you don't um not the majority of the items you sell. So there to me there's a disconnect there. When I go through TD Garden, I don't think I saw one place that sold 12 ounces. Um we've had you before us before and every single time
the receipts show that the person has been served 16 ounces. So, I'm curious if the people that are serving this are properly trained because all of your materials refer to the average size drink in parentheses 12 ounces of beer
based upon the size of a 200 pound man. >> Sure. I I guess I'm not quite understanding the question is I said we I we we focus on their behavior as far as intoxication goes. >> So, there are different behaviors. Would you expect the staff to be on more alert
because they're not actually selling the items that they're trained on looking for signs of impairment? >> Well, I think regardless of regardless of the size of the beard, their inhibitions would be lowered, their judgment would be different. Um,
their motor skills would be different. I think we're we're able to much better assess if someone is intoxicated in the concessions environment because we most bartenders will not know exactly how many drinks a person has had on that. So if a person goes to a
concession stand at, you know, 1:00 in the afternoon and then comes back an hour later that they may go back to a different bartender, a different stand, and the bartender would not be able to actually make a judgment based on a number of drinks served. So they're they
should be engaging in conversation, watching how they handle a credit card, watching how they present an ID. Um, ideally they can they'll try to watch people in the line, you know, behind them to see how they're watch how people
are behaving as they approach. >> Why don't you sell Why do you sell more 16 cans of Bud Light than 12 oz cans? >> I think most people prefer the larger size so they don't have to get back in line on that.
>> Okay. I think to add to that while that while people are there for a limited amount of time to watch whatever event they're watching so they don't miss anything whether it's a concert or sporting event >> right >> so it's to prevent lines people can be
served faster >> yes >> I don't I don't think that's all of it I think to to the point I just raised it's because people are there for events for a limited amount of time that they're there to watch, that they're there to listen, to keep them engaged and in
their seat so that people aren't constantly getting up and down out of their seats, and they have, you know, the drink or two that they want for the average twoish hours that a patron is there to enhance the customer's
enjoyment of the ticket that they've paid for the event that they're watching. Okay, I'm just really always going to be hung up on the fact that the average size drink is 12 ounces. You don't sell a lot of 12 ounces. You purposely sell
16 oz. And people can get two at a time. They're huge. And and Boston police has raises concern with me too. It was one of the first things when I took this job that they they pull me aside about that these drinks are huge. people are being served two at a time,
which is 32 ounces. Um, at the very least, I think your training material should be updated to reflect, you know, what your average sale is. Um, and I would like to know where I'd like to get the floor plan. I want to see how many places that you
sell 12 oz cans. I think I've asked for that before. I'll be waiting for that. We will review the video. I am going on the record that I do think these drinks that you serve are way too big. I know that, you know, I I have other reasons why I think you serve them, but I'm not
going to get into that now. Um, and two 19oz Fiddleheads and one 16oz can of Bud Light um is definitely more than the average um drink that um is taken into
consideration in any sort of um training I've seen from TD Garden. Um, >> for the record, that was served to the friend of on the tab of the friend of the victim. So, presumably to two people,
not just one person. Okay. He was res observed with one cup of beer that was half finished in the seats. Then he had a can of beer. Okay. All right. I mean, I I don't have much more to say. I I I remain concerned about the size of drinks you
sell. Um, Commissioner Saxon or Commissioner K, do you have any questions? >> Uh, is there any video from the point of sale? >> We don't have any video from the point of sale. I think with this investigation, um, they were focused on
the actual assault and battery that occurred and following the the suspect out. And we they did run the the names of the suspects and the victims and known associates that they were with to um find the receipts. And unfortunately
that the actual video of any point of sale was not overlooked and not remaining on the system. >> Okay. Um because too much time had passed. >> Correct. John, remind me how long the
the video is preserved for. >> Uh, yeah, that's correct. It's preserved for 60 days. >> Okay. And by the time you realized that service was an issue, it was over 60 days. Is that correct?
>> Yes. >> All right, that's all I have. I'll wait for the video. Thank you. >> Yeah. Um, I mean, I think, you know, if someone fell over the balcony, I think that would be, you know, reason enough to preserve a video. And I also echo um
the chair's concerns about um I mean, 32 ounces is to me it's it's over service. Um, but I'll uh also wait for the video. There any further questions from the board regarding items one and two?
Sounds like there were specific requests made for a request for a floor plan showing the availability of different size drinks at different concession areas as well as revised training materials um referencing the average size drinks that are sold. Chairman address did I capture that correctly?

Way, Boston, Mass. On arrival, the officers met with uh security staff uh in the rear of TD Garden as they informed officers on scene that an employee who works as a concession was attacked and jumped by other workers
inside the garden. The victim identified as a careright uh was in the restroom in in the security office being attended um by EMTs who are already in the building assigned to the garden events. Uh the victim informed officers that she was
attacked and jumped by two other co-workers after the game had ended. The attack happened uh up on the Loge level floor uh when the victim was attacked and she had her hair pulled was also pepper- sprrayed by who she identified
as Anley Pena. Uh the victim began the the fight began due to rumors starting up that the victim was talking and making rumors about the younger sister of Kayla Howard who was also involved in the fight. Um officers on scene were able to speak
with Robert McIntyre who stated that he was able to show detectives footage from the altercation. Uh the victim was transported to Mass General Hospital for evaluation of her eyes due to contamination of a pepper spray. And then I also have uh just one
supplement for the writeup. Uh on Friday, January 9th, 2026, Detective Curley, the Alpha 808 issued license premise violation 021 uh 235 to the TD Garden 100 Legends way for an incident from December 16th, 2025
involving uh two garden employees violation issued for employee employee assault and battery. uh violation signed for by director of security John Jones. >> Thank you very much. Detective Attorney Scandlin, would you like to address the alleged incident?
>> Please. Just a few um questions for Detective Curley. Uh Detective, looks like you you were not personally involved with this initially on for the call on December 16th. Correct. >> That's correct. U but officers Dpina and
Ortiz Aras responded to a call for an assault battery in progress at the garden. >> Yes. >> And for the record, video was provided by staff immediately for review of detectives to um show footage from this altercation. Correct.
>> Uh yes, I've been provided video. And just for um clarification purposes, the video shows the location of the altercation which actually occurred outside on Legend's Way and not inside the premises um as indicated initially
in the report. Correct. >> Yes, that's correct. >> Okay. And at all times um were staff cooperative with you during the course of your investigation into this matter? >> Yes, they have been. >> Thank you very much, detective. No further questions. Um Madam Chair, members of the board, as an initial
matter, um Lency does not dispute that this altercation occurred. However, um there was some confusion regarding the location of the incident, as you just heard from Detective Curley. Um as the board will see here, this particular incident happened outside. I think there
may have been some confusion due to the fact that the alleged victim was assisted by staff and brought back inside due to being pepper-sprayed. Um, the alleged victim in this particular incident uh was an employee.
She was assaulted or jumped by a group of women outside the workplace when she left from her shift at the premises on December 16th, 2025. One of the three alleged female suspects here was also an employee and we later
learned was um or or sorry as was the boyfriend. We later learned of the alleged victim. Prior to this incident, there had never been any issue with any of these employees. the two two of the females that were employees involved in
the incident were um the male and they had worked at the premises ranging respectively from two to three plus years. Uh following a lengthy and thorough HR investigation of this incident including review of surveillance video and interviews with
sus with um the suspected and involved parties. It was determined that some of these parties have known each other for years, including again two who dated each other in the past and others who were either related or
longtime family friends. Uh, prior to the subject incident, HR later learned that there had been a falling out between these parties based on things communicated to one another via text and email while off duty having nothing to do with or concerning their employment
at the licensed premises. Um, after extensive video review, it appears there was one female who was watching the alleged victim leave the workplace. This female was not an employee, as if to be
a lookout and give the alleged suspect notice when the victim was going to be outside the premises. HR was able to identify the alleged suspect on video where she was waiting outside. And as you will see when you're able to view the video, the alleged suspect is seen
running across the road and ambushing the victim with two other females jumping in. Bystanders can be seen trying to break it up and shortly thereafter alcohol compliance staff as well then guard and security. Um you can later see the alleged victim retaliating
against the alleged suspect as well. For the record, uh, no knowledge or witness by any employees or management regarding any any prior words or incidents between these two employees when this occurred off duty and outside the premises. Um,
this was confirmed by management during the course of their internal investigation. Furthermore, uh, no complaints were lodged against one another by uh, any of these employees prior to this incident happening. As you will note in the internal incident report, several staff
responded to assist the alleged victim. Uh the manager on duty was notified as well as BPD uh who responded uh to assist and render aid to to the victim here too. It's very clear and without question that the alleged victim was set
up and ambushed. Ultimately learned again she fought back and retaliated as well. Um all involved employees were suspended pending an investigation and following investigation into the conduct determined of course that it was unprofessional and inappropriate um
behavior towards other team members despite the fact that it was offduty and outside the premises. Um they were notified in person and in writing of the company's zero tolerance workplace violence prevention policy and thereafter terminated. Again, this was
not foreseeable that nobody had any knowledge of what was going on personally with um these people. They previously didn't bring it in or near the workplace. And again, this victim in this incident was you'll see clearly she was ambushed without notice. She this
the other woman sped right across and and attacked her. So again, not foreseeable and happened without warning and under the circumstances, staff and responded appropriately and immediately to um the scene contacted um Boston police to assist as well and rendered
aid to the victim. >> Thank you. Anything further before we move to questions? >> Right. That we'll see if there are any questions from the board at this time. Chairman Joyce, >> excuse me. Thank you. I have no questions. >> No questions for me.
>> None for me. Thank you. >> Very much. Seeing no questions, the board will take this matter under advisement as well.

times. At one point, the victim stated that a suspect pulled a knife on him, but then retracted the statement and said that did not happen. He could not provide a description of the three suspects other than that they were Hispanic males. Officers requested for EMS to respond to
the scene. Boston EMS Ambulance A27, Munis, and Kelly responded and evaluated the victim. Ambulance A27 transported the victim to Mass General Hospital for further evaluation. Officers spoke to the bar manager, Oscar Guzman Belle, who stated that the victim
was the aggressor during the incident. Guzman Belbine explained that the victim had been sitting with two Hispanic males at the bar before they became involved in verbal disagreement. He stated that the victim became aggressive and was trying to instigate a fight with the other two parties. The
manager stated that he inter intervened to split the three men up and the victim raised his fist at him as if preparing to punch him. He stated the other two men had only hit the victim in self-defense as the victim tried to physically come after them. He told officers that the other two parties had
already fled from the bar. He stated that he did not see a knife during the incident. Neither party was able to explain what the verbal disagreement had been about. The manager was able to show officers footage of the three men sitting together at the bar, but it did not provide clear footage of the men's faces, nor the actual physical
altercation. It does show the three men get up and walk to the exit of the bar together. Uh there are cameras outside of the bar on neighboring buildings which may have captured the incident. Sergeant Monroe Gold 9006 conducted a code 35 license premise check of Embara.
He issued Oscar Guzman Belbein license premise inspection notice 056851 for the violation of assault and battery on license premise. Patron on patron body warn cameras activated. >> Thank you very much Mr. Guzma, Miss Ggo,

the one who started uh with the issues arguing with the other one and they walking out. He raised his hands to one of the other guys and the other guy end up punching him in the face. Uh that's that's basically everything he saw. As the guy was outside, he was trying to get him clean up. The guy

interaction between them or you know sell could be identified inside which we provided. did look at the video with detective and you know we seem to see the people involved but there was no incident or
real interaction that we saw of them inside that lead us to think there was going to be any problem outside >> thank you >> yeah anything to add >> no that's it >> okay chairman Joyce any questions
>> in reviewing the video. Were you able to see the man in the green shirt asking them to leave? >> No, we just saw him in the place at different points in the evening. We never even saw them. I didn't see them interact at all. In fact, I don't don't
even know what the victim looks like. >> I thought you said you were able to identify them inside the video. >> No, just the one the the green shirt and the group that was >> All right. So, who is the person in the green shirt? Is he an employee? No, just another customer.

in the police report, it says Ramen stated he asked an employee of the establishment if they had to leave and were advised that the bar closes at 2 a.m. Did you see that at all? No. >> So, tell me what you did see on the video with these two people. >> Um, we were just
>> we were just looking for the not the victim, the the person in the green shirt just to identify see if they were inside if there was any, you know, altercation or any argument or anything like that prior to everybody leaving it
too. >> Okay, maybe the police can answer this. We don't have the video unfortunately, which would be very helpful. Do you still have the video or when you reviewed it, were you able to determine who was involved, if there was any anything that happened inside that would
have led to a fight outside? >> Uh, yes. Uh, Detective Van speaking. Uh, I was able to collect the video. I do still have the video. Um, from what I saw, the the person questioned the suspect, the green shirt, uh, spoke to the two
victims inside the bar as they were sitting down at a stool. Um, I don't have the exact time that was. Um, but it was just before closing. Um, you can see the green shirt walk up to the two of them and obviously you there's no audio, but you can see that he's speaking to
the two of them. Um, and then everybody exits. Um there's a large amount of people outside on the sidewalk um for a long period of time um a few minutes before the actual altercation
starts, but it's it's directly in front of the business on the sidewalk. >> Was the person in the green shirt an employee? >> No. From what I understand, I spoke to the manager there. Um I don't have his
name in front of me. Um, from what I understand, um, he's a regular at the bar or was a regular at the bar. So, staff know him but apparently don't know have a name or contact information

matter? >> Yes. >> Okay. Thank you very much. No further questions. Officer Martin. Thank you. Um, Madam Chair, members of the board, as an initial matter, um, the video of this incident and the related internal incident report were provided to the board. I'm not sure if you're able to
watch the video yet, but um, no, as a preliminary matter, there were no issues with any patrons, specifically none with this unknown suspect or the alleged v victim, Mr. Toggny, um, prior to this incident occurring. There's also
no uh known witnesses, although it looks like there may be a couple when you view the video that witnessed it happening, but no known witnesses to us at this time. Um once the board has an opportunity to review the video, you'll see that this happens very quickly,
seemingly out of nowhere and without warning. What you'll see is um on the video is largely in alignment with what the alleged victim indicated to police in so far as it seemed like a friendly interaction that suddenly got briefly
aggressive, but that was also over as soon as it started. Um it appears that the unknown suspect moved to strike the alleged victim's hat off of his head with a beer bottle that he was holding in his hand. And from the angle of the video, you
could see the hat go off the victim's head. You can't necessarily see a strike to the mouth, but you do see Mr. Toggney briefly put his hand to his face approximately 20 seconds later. Uh, notably, you don't see any surrounding patrons react besides two or three males
that it looks like perhaps the aggressor may have been with and a female who appears to have been with Mr. Toggney. All parties seem to turn away from each other a bit nonchalantly after the interaction. And after approximately two minutes, Mr. Toggney appears to talk to
two of the male uh uh patrons that may have been with the alleged suspect who who by the way is standing there. You'll see him standing there the entire time. And shortly thereafter, the alleged victim heads for the exit. As is reported in the internal
incident report, Mr. Toggnney, who is the victim here, initially went to an employee. Um, Mr. Cronin, who no longer works for the Lency and said he was hit in the face. This employee reportedly offered medical assistance, but Mr. Togney declined and said he had an Uber and was leaving. While he was headed for
the door, um, that particular employee went to get general manager Miles Copka, who is on the call. He's here and can answer any questions the board might have. However, he did not witness the incident or interact with Mr. Tag. Mr. Bowford, who I thought was on the call,
um was working the door that evening um and saw the individual leaving. He said he did see some blood on his mouth and he did ask Mr. Toggney if he knew who struck him and he said no. He did offer assistance to which Mr. Toggney
declined and got in a ride share within um one to two minutes after his interaction with Mr. Toggney. Um despite the alleged victim having left on his own valition, police were notified that evening by Mr. Copka who notified
Sergeant Smiggliari. Um they also had followup with the detective Swain and videos were provided in cooperation with um Boston police's investigation into this incident. Uh while the video does support a brief interaction occurred, again it it occurred without warning and
not really foreseeable this would have happened which is supported by the victim's own statement in the report that it seemed like friendly banter about the football game with an inappropriately aggressive response. Um under the circumstances the lency did um what it should have done and notified
the police offered medical even though he declined and left and cooperated with the investigation thereafter. Again Mr. Casey who's the GM and um Mr. Copco is the manager on duty that evening are here uh today in the event the board has
any questions regarding this incident. >> Thank you guys. Any questions? >> Sorry. Thank you. No, I have no questions. >> No questions. Thank you. >> None for me. Thank you. >> Thank you very much. Uh with that the board will take this matter of advisement as well. Thank you.

put up a signage now asking for two picture IDs, but I've also suggested to them >> to get the ID book that uh shows all the all the valid licenses. It's a small uh
paperback book uh which they've ordered a few copies that they're going to go over with the staff. The uh explained to them that's what the ABCC investigators use now because of the the change of the law. So when these when they get in this
case uh licenses from uh Wisconsin or whatever, they can check the ID book to make sure that they comply with the the legal licenses from from uh Wisconsin. But in this particular case, they took
reasonable care to make sure that the these women um were of age. And as it turned out, you know, um, and the sergeant explained that occasionally these scanners aren't 100% accurate. Mr.
Carotus is here if you have any questions for him, but he was cooperative. The staff was cooperative and they're working very hard to make sure that the staff is trained and that they comply with all the the rules. >> Uh, excuse me. Thank you. Just one

had a very good uh recent past run of of very few issues in the uh in the neighborhood. We'd like to keep it that way. This is a mistake and we have to apologize for it and uh again have retrained all staff so that they understand clearly their roles and
responsibilities. Um there was Clancy who was on duty on the night in question. I can only presume that she was cooperative. She signed everything. uh took responsibility and that's really uh what we're here to do today is to take responsibility. It was a mistake
