Police reports detail fights, protective custody calls and a reported stabbing near local bars
Summary
Board staff summarized Lynn police reports describing multiple bar-related incidents including fights, intoxication-related protective custody, a reported stabbing near the Pelican Bar with no victim immediately located, and a complaint that a security guard used racial slurs and threatened a caller.
During the meeting a staff member read a series of recent police reports describing disturbances at Lynn bars and restaurants that the board retains for situational awareness.
Incidents included a multi-party fight at the Lido Cafe (64 Franklin St.) that resulted in one person being taken into protective custody, several episodes in which heavily intoxicated patrons at Malacon Restaurant and Taco Arias Bar and Grill were placed into protective custody, and a reported stabbing near the Pelican Bar (874 Washington St.) where officers arrived to conflicting accounts and no victim was immediately located.
Reports also described thefts and customer disturbances at stores and bars, and an incident at a Monroe Street establishment in which the reporting party said a security guard used racial slurs while threatening to return to the caller's home. Staff said body cameras were activated and no charges had been filed at the time of the report; the board asked staff to bring the owner and security guard in for follow-up conversation.
The staff member said officers had gathered statements and that several investigations remained open; the board did not take enforcement action in the meeting but indicated follow-up would occur where appropriate.
