Bar fight leads

to two arrests

A fight in the early morning hours Saturday outside the Dome Stadium bar on Main Street led to a brother and sister being arrested.

Nicholas J. Gregori, 25, 370 Lawrence Ave., upper, Buffalo was charged with disorderly conduct and his sister, Santina M. Gregori, 23, 1287 Tanglewood Drive, North Tonawanda, was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

Police responded to a fight call at the bar about 5 a.m. and when they arrived, found Nicholas Gregori bleeding from a cut under his eye. Gregori said he had confronted three men in a car who Gregori believed had stolen his sister’s wallet.

Police asked Gregori and his sister if they would provide a description of the suspects and whether he wanted to press charges.

Both Nicholas and Santina were highly intoxicated, according to the report, and became belligerent with officers. After being warned several times to keep his voice down and refrain from using obscenities, officers placed Nicholas Gregori under arrest for disorderly conduct. As they were placing him in handcuffs, Santina Gregori grabbed the officer’s arm. She was then placed under arrest as well.

Nicholas Gregori was released on an appearance ticket. Santina Gregori was held for court.

No, the indian reservations are sovereign land and they are selling them on their land.
Not up to me. Native Americans decide the rules on their land.
Don't care. Smoking isn't good for you.
