WARREN, Ohio - Police say Saturday night crowds are getting out of hand at nightspots at a corner on Warren’s Southwest side.

At around 2 a.m. Sunday, officers went to West Market Street and Nevada Avenue SW after a 9-1-1 caller complained that there were more than 100 cars in parking lots and the roadway.

Police say the Tipsy Bull lot at 1931 West Market Street was so full of haphazardly parked vehicles, cars in the middle of the lot would not be able to get out if there were an emergency.

The parking lot of 1961 W Market St was also the same way, according to police.  People were also filling the parking lot of the nearby Naus Club on Nevada Ave SW, says the report.

 Since the lots were full, vehicles were illegally parked on the streets, blocking parking lot exits and driveways.

Some cars were also parked in driveways, an access road to former railroad tracks, and along Oregon Avenue NW, one block away.

As police began ticketing vehicles parked in the street, they say they heard shots fired and saw people fighting in the parking lot of the Tipsy Bull.

As people began to flee from the bar, police contacted Warren Township Police and Sheriff’s Deputies for assistance.

Officers say the cars began to leave, each with three or four people inside.  Police estimated the Tipsy Bull crowd at 200 people.

After an unsuccessful search for shell casings in the parking lot, police say they repeatedly knocked on the front door of the bar.

After police first heard a male voice telling them that the bar was closed, they heard a woman order the man to allow officers inside.

Police told the four remaining patrons to leave the bar.

Officers say the employees told them that the bar owner wasn’t there, and no one know who was in charge that night.

Police say they have been called to the Tipsy Bull and the area around the bar in the past for similar incidents

“Every Saturday the parking lots and streets listed above are completely packed with people and cars,” stated the police report. “We have made multiple traffic stops in this area to deter crime and illegal parking, but the patrons and employees of this bar continue to allow these issues to occur.”
