Police were dispatched to Olde Magoun’s Saloon Friday morning on reports of a dispute involving an employee.

Upon arrival, officers observed shattered glass littering the floor of the establishment.

The owner of the bar reportedly told police that an employee who had just been fired, Robyn Debenedetto, 40, of Woburn, entered the establishment that morning and began throwing bottles and glasses, apparently in response to her dismissal from the club.

Debenedetto, who was still in the bar when police arrived, immediately shouted that the owner was lying and that he had placed her in a headlock prior to the officers’ arrival.

The owner reportedly insisted that Debenedetto entered the bar that morning, even though her employment there had been terminated, and began throwing things as a result of her being angry over being fired.

The officers reportedly established that Debenedetto and the owner were in a dating relationship. Text messages on Debenedetto’s phone were examined by the officers, confirming that she had acknowledged being fired, and also stating that she had smashed one of the owner’s TVs to pieces.

The owner showed police a laceration on his shin, which he said had occurred when she threw a glass at him.

Debenedetto was placed under arrest and charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
