Many of you may be aware of the police presence at our gym today. A resident of the upstairs apartment exhibited erratic and psychotic behavior, engaging in lewd acts and threatening behavior that resulted in property damage. In light of this individual's overtly psychotic behavior, Joe made the decision to request police assistance, particularly given the presence of a teen boxing class at the time. This was deemed the safest course of action to address the dangerous behavior. The Vermont State Police response time was approximately one hour, during which time the individual had returned to his apartment and refused to open the door to the authorities. Consequently, no further action was taken. This individual poses a significant threat to the community, and it is imperative that he be held accountable for his actions, particularly given the presence of teenagers engaging in positive and safe activities. Our gym will continue to operate as it has for the past seven and a half years. Joe will be contacting the Lyndonville Police Department in the morning to request their assistance in ensuring the safety of our boxers through an increased police presence in the area.
We want to thank everyone who has reached out to offer support.
