NEPTUNE BEACH, Fla. — A Neptune Beach restaurant manager was arrested last month after complaints were made about the volume of the music at his establishment.
Robert Newell, 44, was charged with breaching the peace on March 20.
According to the arrest report, The Neptune Beach Police Department was dispatched to 'The Local' located at 301 Atlantic Blvd. around 11 a.m. in reference to a loud live band. Upon arrival, officers noted the music was 'excessively loud'.
Additionally, the officer noted that Newell was issued a Notice to Appear for the same violation at 10 p.m. the previous evening.
The report says the responding officer asked Newell if he received the notice the previous evening and he reportedly said “yes”.
Newell was taken into custody without incident, the report says. The band was also reportedly told to stop playing and was given the warning that enforcement action would be taken if they continued.
