Shawn Donovan of Billerica, owner of the Revolution Rock Club on High Street, was indicted on Friday under the state's witness-intimidation law for allegedly trying to keep police from learning what happened there early on New Year's Day.
Boston Police report arresting Mario Mendez, wanted for shooting a man outside Revolution on High Street early on New Year's Day.
The Boston Police Fugitive Unit busted into 100 Stockton St. in Chelsea around 2:30 p.m., where, police say, he went after fleeing and then returning to Massachusetts. In addition to Mendez, police say they found a gun and narcotics. Police add:
Detectives are also investigating the suspect's possible connection to another shooting in the downtown area.
For now, however, Mendez faces charges of assault with intent to murder and assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon, because, police say, he got angry at a guy who bumped into him.
Innocent, etc.
The Herald reports workers at the High Street nightclub all seem to know nothing about a patron who allegedly tried to gun down some guy outside the club - their lips are so zipped police have issued the club a citation for "non-cooperation." You know, Mario Mendez, the guy police have on video going into the club, then coming out and shooting somebody.
Boston Police have released this video that they say shows Mario Mendez trying to gun down somebody outside Revolution Rock Bar & Lounge, 200 High St., for daring to bump into him early on New Year's (Mendez is the guy seen entering in a gray jacket):
