The neighbors aren’t happy.

In the past, several releases drew large crowds that subjected residents to public drunkenness and urination, violence, loitering, littering, drug use, yelling and screaming. Some specific incidences that occurred between 2014 and 2016 that were highlighted in the suit featured police intervention, guns being pulled out and riot-like behavior.
