Restaurant management decided to close the bar and restaurant early for the evening. Several young men who were involved in the dispute were detained and questioned by police but were not arrested. The focus at the time was to provide the males needed medical treatment. Although no ar r ests were made, the investigation continued. Police said there might be charges filed against participants in the fight, because one of the people involved used a glass bottle in the fight, which is a felony. “The Kowloon is a family friendly restaurant, unfortunately a few unruly patrons ruined a nice evening for many others,” Saugus Police Chief Michael Ricciardelli said. “A disturbance such as this on Thanksgiving Eve is unacceptable and disgusting.” MOM’S LIFESAVER | FROM PAGE 1 couldn’t breathe. “She did not panic. She maintained complete control of her emotions throughout the length of the 911 call,” the chief noted. “She gave critical updates to our dispatchers, followed the instructions that the dispatchers gave her as well as assisted with the translation to her mom. She speaks a limited amount of English,” Ricciardelli said. Choking on a chicken bone When police arrived at the Saugus Avenue home, Camila came running out of the house to greet the officers and lead them to her mom, Celina Guardado de Giron, who was lying on the kitchen floor, with her head resting on top of a pillow. “With Camila’s help, we were able to sit her up and determined that she had swallowed a piece of chicken bone,” Chief Ricciardelli said. The firefighter EMTs transported Camila’s mom to MelroseWakefield Hospital, where the doctors discovered a small piece of bone that was clogging her airway. Camila received a citation from the Board of Selectmen “for her heroic action during a time of emergency.” “So, Camila, you’re a hero. How do you feel?” Board of Selectmen Chair Debra PanetPolice are still speaking with witnesses and anyone with information is asked to call police. Meanwhile, Board of Selectmen Chair Debra Panetta said she is still awaiting receipt of the police report. “There are videos circulating on social media about the incident that occurred at the Kowloon on Wednesday, November 22, 2023,” Panetta said. “The police are the liquor agents for the Board of Selectmen who are the liquor commissioners, where the Board of Selectmen issue liquor licenses. When we have an incident and violation of the liquor rules and regulations from an establishment, the police provide a separate and specific report to the Board of Selectmen for review. We are expecting this report from the Police Department, and the Board will appropriate action at that time, depending on the findings of the report. ta asked her. “Good,” Camila answered. She then explained how she reacted to the situation after discovering her mom in the kitchen. “She told me to call the police,” the girl said. Then the five selectmen took turns praising Camila for her lifesaving act. “You were very heroic,” Panetta told the girl. “It’s amazing how you went under control that whole time. You must have been scared, too,” she said. Selectman Corinne Riley called her “a brave little girl.” “That was a brave thing to do to stay focused on what you needed to do to help your mom,” Riley said. Selectman Michael Serino said he hopes to have Camila around some day in case he encounters the same situation as her mother. “You’re an asset to the community, and I think some day you might make a great nurse,” Serino said. “That’s a heck of a thing you did,” Selectman Anthony Cogliano said. “You’re a hero and thank you from the Town of Saugus,” he said. Board of Selectmen Vice Chair Jeffrey Cicolini told Camila the entire board was proud of her. “You are an amazing young lady and I’m MOM’S LIFESAVER| SEE PAGE 3
