Somerville Police officers were dispatched to Fasika Ethiopian Restaurant on Broadway last Saturday evening on reports of a dispute.

As units were responding to the location, Somerville Control informed responding units that the defendant, Javier Fabian-Dubon, fled the scene heading in the direction of Stop and Shop on McGrath Highway.

Fabian-Dubon was located on Mystic Avenue behind the Stop and Shop, hiding in the bushes near the loading dock. He was detained by officers and handcuffed.

Police officers spoke to an employee of Fasika, who stated that Fabian-Dubon walked into the bar and requested to be served an alcoholic beverage. Due to Fabian-Dubon’s level of intoxication, the bartender refused to serve him, at which time he became extremely angry.

Fabian-Dubon reportedly picked up a bar stool and threw it behind the bar at a wall of glass shelves which held numerous bottles of alcohol. The glass shelves broke/shattered and the bottles fell onto the counter and floor. At the time of the incident, three patrons and three employees were in Fasika.

Photographs of the damage to the bottles and shelves were taken.

Fabian-Dubon reportedly admitted to police that he had consumed eight Corona Light beers. He was placed under arrest and transported in the prisoner transport vehicle to the Somerville Police Station where he was booked on charges of destruction of property over $1200 and disorderly conduct.
