Police report leads Holyoke License Commission to invite Unicorn, 126 High Street, to explain after‑hours activity
Summary
A police report that described patrons drinking inside and loud music at 4:17 a.m. prompted the License Commission to vote to invite the Unicorn (126 High Street) to the March meeting for a discussion of a possible violation.
The Holyoke License Commission voted to send a letter inviting the operator of the Unicorn, 126 High Street, to the board’s March meeting to discuss a police report that alleges the business was operating after hours and that loud music and on‑premises drinking were observed.
Staff member Alex told the board he had forwarded a police report from Captain Isaiah Cruz indicating the establishment was operating at 4:17 a.m., with music loud enough to be audible outside and people drinking inside. The commission agreed, by voice vote, to invite the licensee to the March meeting for a discussion of a “possible violation,” and staff was instructed to send the invitation letter. Commissioners emphasized that the matter should be listed as a possible violation in meeting materials because a violation cannot be declared without the licensee’s appearance and a formal review.
The commission did not make any disciplinary determination at the February meeting; the action was limited to scheduling a hearing/appearance and notifying the licensee. Staff said the police report will be included in the March meeting packet.
