Mayor Miro Weinberger Statement on BPD Arrest
“I am pleased that Burlington Police officers were able to defuse the dangerous situation in the early morning hours today at Zen Lounge involving an intoxicated individual threatening others with a firearm after being kicked out of the establishment. This incident underscores long-standing concerns about current rules which allow patrons to enter bars with weapons, and supports the importance of the City’s proposed charter change that would end this practice that Burlingtonians overwhelmingly supported on Town Meeting Day 2014.”
