Fuel bouncers involved in incident
Almost weekly we are seeing large fights outside Club Fuel. Two weekends ago, bouncers of the club became violent towards police trying to break up a large fight. Here are the police reports:
Friday August 24, 2007: The crowd seemed smaller than an average Friday night. At approximately 3:00 AM, there was a large fight behind Club Fuel involving about 45 black males. The fight apparently started inside of the club and spilled into the back parking lot. Officers responded and had to use OC gas to break up the fight. Some of the group became hostile towards the police and were identified to be bouncers from Club Fuel. Two people were arrested after they became disorderly toward the police and refused to leave the area. Coincidentally they were identified as former bouncers from Club Fuel.
Saturday August 25, 2007: It was an average size crowd for a Saturday night, with heavy rain earlier in the night. At 3:30 AM, there was a DUI-crash involving Officer Sal Mazza and his horse. Officer Mazza was handling a traffic congestion problem at 19th St & 7th Ave. The driver of a Buick failed to see the officer and the horse and he drove directly into the officer and his horse. Officer Mazza and the horse tumbled onto the hood of the Buick. Officer Mazza and the horse suffered minor injuries. The driver had a blood alcohol level of .21.
