BNN Market manager held to conference over contested fines and alleged paraphernalia
Summary
The Licensing Board held a conference with the BNN Market manager after a compliance check found allegedly displayed products and alleged drug paraphernalia; the manager will meet health department staff for a walkthrough and one $1,000 fine will be paid while two $300 fines remain contested.
The Lynn City Licensing Board convened a conference with the manager of BNN Market (identified in the record as Calabrio) after a complaint and a compliance check. According to the manager and counsel, an inspection observed product displayed both in front of and behind the counter, and health investigators reported finding two small pieces of what was described as drug paraphernalia. The manager said the clerk had removed items when first told to do so but later the items were found on a high shelf.
Board counsel summarized that this is the third hearing on the event; the manager has paid a $1,000 fine related to the incident and contested two additional $300 fines. The health department will conduct a walkthrough of the store on Thursday and board staff and the manager said they will go through the store together to avoid misunderstandings. The board emphasized this was "strictly a conference" and "for educational purposes."
Board members noted the store’s cooperation and directed staff and the manager to coordinate with health department agents. No license suspension or further enforcement action was taken at the hearing; the matter remains under advisement pending the health department’s follow‑up and resolution of contested fines.
