LAUREL, Md. — The City of Laurel has revoked a restaurant's Use and Occupancy Permit over a pair of violent incidents that took place on Cinco de Mayo.
That night five people were injured following a stabbing and shooting stemming from altercations at Amigos Mexican Grill.
Laurel officials allege Amigos "misrepresented" their security plan and intended use of the restaurant to the Prince George’s County Board of License Commissioners.
The City shared no specific evidence related to their findings.
