Providence Police Make Underage Drinking Arrests at Black Sheep - Latest After Melee & 7-Day Closure

Providence Police arrested two people at Black Sheep in Providence on Saturday for underage drinking, GoLocal has learned. 

The action comes after the bar had been recently ordered shut down for seven days by the Board of Licenses.

As GoLocal first reported, on February 23, over 100 people were involved in a “large disturbance” at Black Sheep, and a beer bottle was reportedly thrown at an officer. Police say bar security was “uncooperative” during the incident.
