Fall River Police arrest two after gun incident at local bar

Fall River Police arrested two over the weekend after a gun incident at a Fall River sports bar.

On Saturday, May 19th at approximately 12:30 a.m. Officers of the Fall River Police Department responded to 390 Rhode Island Avenue, Mickey Doyle’s Sports Bar, in regards to a male waving a gun. On arrival, witnesses told Officer Paul Furtado that the suspect, a black male wearing a red hooded sweatshirt, was in the parking lot pointing a gun at another male. People in the crowd repeatedly shouted, “Joe don’t do it”. The suspect left in a blue vehicle with a Massachusetts Registration Plate operated by a female who drove away at a high rate of speed.

While on patrol canvassing the area for the vehicle and suspect, Officer Kevin Lopes observed the vehicle occupied by a lone female in the parking lot at 64 Rhode Island Avenue. On the front seat of the vehicle was a red sweatshirt. This female, Justice Therriault, 22, offered no explanation for her association with the sweatshirt, the suspect, or her participation in the events at Mickey Doyle’s Sports Bar.

Therriault, with a last known address of 853 Slade Street, was taken into custody and charged with Negligent Operation of a Motor vehicle, Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle, Intimidation/Misleading, and Accessory After the Fact.

After hearing a description of the suspect and observing surveillance video from inside Mickey Doyle’s Sports Bar, Sgt. Brett Kimball recognized the male as Joseph Migliori, 30, of 71 East Main Street.

At approximately 6:40 A.M. Officer Furtado returned to the parking lot of 390 Rhode Island Avenue to search for any evidence under daylight conditions. As Officer Furtado exited his cruiser, Migliori exited a white Honda and walked toward Officer Furtado. Officer Furtado took Migliori into custody without incident on charges of Carrying a Firearm without a License to Carry, Assault with a Dangerous Weapon, Disturbing the Peace, and Disorderly Conduct.
