JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 Arlington residents report that high-volume music, vehicle engines, and gunfire are disrupting their sleep, pointing to a nearby establishment as the source. Records from the Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office show law enforcement has received 13 service calls to the address of the Black Sheep bar and lounge since July.<\/p>\n
The Black Sheep bar and lounge operates Thursday through Sunday until 2 a.m. Sheriff\u2019s office records for the establishment\u2019s address show calls for six noise complaints, one disagreement, and one incident involving the firing of weapons.<\/p>\n
Kaseem Tarver, an Arlington resident who lives one block from the establishment, said the disruption impacts neighbors trying to sleep late into the night. \u201cLoud music from the club and loud music for people with subwoofers in their car out of loud speakers,\u201d Tarver said. He added that the noises extend beyond music to vehicle traffic and gunfire. \u201cThere was an instance of gunshots, and you would hear, sort of like cars racing,\u201d Tarver said.<\/p>\n
Tarver noted that noise issues frequently extend past the bar\u2019s closing time. \u201cYou really couldn\u2019t get sleep because, you know, playing loud music and doing all kinds of nonsense till 3 a.m.,\u201d Tarver said. He urged attendees to show more consideration for the surrounding community. \u201cI would say be mindful of everybody else sleeping, so don\u2019t rev your engines or play loud music after 12 o\u2019clock at night,\u201d Tarver said.<\/p>\n
In a statement to Action News Jax, management for Black Sheep bar and lounge said the disturbances occur outside the building. \u201cThe disturbances we are aware of have occurred outside the establishment, in surrounding parking areas and on nearby public streets.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are committed to reviewing our current security procedures, evaluating our exterior security presence, strengthening crowd-control practices during peak business hours and improving how we monitor guest departures and activity in areas where we have the authority to intervene,\u201d management stated.<\/p>\n
Management for the Black Sheep bar added that the Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office has not had to enter the establishment to address any of the incidents.<\/p>\n
The business stated it plans to request and review these calls for service.<\/p>\n
