Little shop of boozers: Police say minors liquored up at Mass. Ave. ice-cream parlor

Boston Police report busting up a soiree at Wheeler's Cafe and Ice Cream Bar on Mass. Ave. around 12:50 this morning after officers discovered members of the under-21 set consuming "beer and shots of alcohol:"

Officers observed the windows of the store to be "blacked out" for they were covered with sheets of black nylon, giving the illusion that the store was closed. Officers entered the store and discovered 60 to 70 individuals congregating within, consuming alcohol and listening to music emanating from a large DJ system.

Upon further investigation, it was learned that a large number of the individuals were under the legal drinking age of Twenty-One. Partygoers informed officers that they received a wristband for admittance after paying a Ten-Dollar cover charge. Once inside, they were served beer & shots of alcohol. They further stated that they learned of the establishment through the Wheeler's Ice Cream Parlor's Facebook page.

Hmm, for some reason, the ad for the event is gone from the joint's Facebook page today, although you can still see photos from past dances at the shop there and here. The "micro-creamery" sells only vegan ice cream, including a line of alcohol-flavored treats.

Police say Eric Marcelino, 27, of Acushnet, and Rodeye Mckiedhem, 41, of Cambridge, were arrested and charged with disturbing the peace, procuring alcohol for minors and selling/furnishing alcoholic beverages to persons under the age of 21.

Innocent, etc.
