  • Monday, April 12, 2021

A woman claimed to be injured at Pier 88, 2288 Gunbarrel Road. Police spoke with the woman who said that while she was inside the business, the booth that she was sitting on fell, pushing against the table and pushing her ankle underneath, injuring it. She said at the same time the booth fell on top of her niece's foot and it also hit her in the face. The woman said she wanted to have all of this documented because the business was trying to say it didn't happen. Police went inside the business and made contact with the manager, who showed police the video footage from the security cameras. Police were able to observe the woman starting to get up from the booth, and one of the legs from the booth moved and fell off the step that the booth was on. Police saw the woman was not pushed against the table and the woman's niece was far enough away to not be affected by the incident. Police observed the woman get up from the booth and then started limping and ask for the manager.
