Armed Security Told 'No Guns Allowed' at Community Center

Security personnel hired to watch over a quinceanera party at the Greenfield Community Center on May 11 were advised by Greenfield police they could not be armed at the party.

Weapons are not permitted inside the Community Center, or any other city-owned building.

The security officers told police they would leave the party because they did not want to leave their firearms in their vehicles.

That same night, police received a noise complaint about the party at 10:40 p.m., and partygoers were asked to turn the music's volumn and bass down.

That and the following incidents were recorded in the Greenfield Police Department incident log for the week of May 6-12:
