Last night around 7 p.m., quite a few police cars responded to Market St. near 17th Ave. Explains a My Ballard reader:

“There was big drama at the little store… next to the Old Pequilar tonight. Some drunk idiot was refused a beer sale because he was obviously drunk, he then blew up, bullied the owner out with threats of violence and started tearing up the place. Cops took him out well maced and in cuffs. Check the police logs for details. All ended well but I feel so bad for the family that owns this store.”
