CLEVELAND — Cleveland City Council President Blaine Griffin , residents, and business owners said a party at a short-term rental over the July 4 weekend was a chaotic, disastrous mess that forced local businesses to go into"lockdown."
"They were disrespectful to me, they were disrespectful to everybody in the neighborhood and, quite frankly, they were most disrespectful to themselves," he said. "They overran the patio at Poppy. They ran into the backyards of some of the neighboring businesses. They basically took over the street," Griffin said.Griffin said he learned about the party after residents called to complain that Cleveland police were not responding to their requests for help."I kind of made some calls to say, 'I need you guys here right away'," he said.Griffin said he called Shaker Heights Police for help, too.
