Tiverton Bar Brawl Leads to Two Arrests

Two Holy Ghost Club patrons caught last call at Tiverton Police headquarters after a fight broke out around 11:30 p.m. on Friday night.

 

No one was injured, but a bar-room brawl ended in arrest for two patrons on Friday night, according to Tiverton Police.

Raymond Pires, 51, of 13 Seigal St., Bristol and Patricia Duquette, 50 of 199 King Phillip St., Fall River, were arrested after the pair allegedly started a fight with a 39-year-old Fall River woman.

Witnesses at the Holy Ghost Club on Bottom Street in Tiverton told police that Duquette started walked up to the woman, who was seated at the bar, and punched her in the face. As the women engaged in an altercation, Pires, who is Duquette's boyfriend, grabbed a golf club from their car and began swinging it around, hitting an air conditioner on the side of the building. Witnesses said Pires returned to his car, this time coming back with a baseball bat.

Although he did not strike anyone with the bat, Pires allegedly went toward the 39-year-old Fall River victim Duquette was fighting with, making swinging motions and yelling "I will get you and I want to take your eyes out."

No one was injured when police arrived and both Pires and Duquette were charged with one count of disorderly conduct. 

Pires was also charged with one felony count of assault with a dangerous weapon and resisting arrest. Police allege Pires refused to cooperate as officers attempted to take him into custody and had to force him to the ground in order to secure his handcuffs.

Duquette was charged with misdemeanor simple assault for her alleged attack on another bar patron.

Duquette and Pires were taken to police headquarters where they were held overnight and released the next day by a justice of the peace.

All arrest information was supplied by the Tiverton Police Department. Arrests to not necessarily indicate a conviction.

My sentiments exactly. How appropriate that bottom dwellers frequent an establishment on Bottom Street. And the fact this so-called "citizen's club's" name has a religious connotation makes it all the more pathetic.

Remember going to the Holy Ghost Club with my Grand Father in the late 1960s. It was mostly members who frequented the Holy Ghost church. It was a social club where you could hold celebrations,parties, fund raises or just go and have a laugh. I haven't been in there since . I know that they are still a locals club as I have friends who are members. They are not low lives .

Theres always an A hole in the crowd! These two got what they needed. I wonder why a man would punch a women in the face? She more then likely did something! Maybe she should of had last call in a cell too?

he did not punch the women in the face..go back and read..the 50 yr old punched the 39 yr old because she was looking for trouble..the guy had to much to drink assaulted his girl to try to stop the fight.. ended up flipping out because of the 50 yr old girlfriend..what would you do if someone came up to you and swung?I DON'T THINK YOU WOULD APPRECIATE LAST CALL IN A CELL FOR DEFENDING YOURSELF...DUMB REMARK!!

Used to be a nice place, president and his wife who was the so called "bookeeper" were recenly banned from the club after it was discovered they embezeled thousands dollars for their personal use, of course they were both collecting disabilities and unemployment while working there.

Dear Pat, you don't know what you are talking about. They never embezzled any funds. And, the bookkeeper reported every sent that was made to disability. The problem is that the current president beats up people and gets away with it and the couple that you are talking about decided they didn't want any part of the club and the bottom feeders that are running the establishment there.

Hate to tell you, but I was there that night, the 50 yr. old did not start anything inside the establishment, the 39 yr old was outside not sitting at the bar minding her own business. and the guy did have did not assault his girlfriend to stop anything. He the boyfriend of the 50 yr old would never put his hands on his girl or any other woman. reading these posts it sure sounds like Linda you had too much to drink because your memory is all screwed up.

It should come as no surprise that Joe Sousa would defend a place such as this that is frequented by less than desirable individuals and where rowdy behavior is the norm.

Next thing you know, we're going to see a "bikerhd1998" parked out in front.

This Bar is No longer a "Local" Hangout. If you take the time to drive by there You will see that 99% of the cars there are from Massachusetts. Drive by real slow and you'll see the type of patrons this place attracts "Scary". And no John it's not the same as any bar. I'm not afraid to walk into any bar but I would be to walk into this fine establishment!!!

Pires has two brain cells. One chasing the other one around. Another classless place with it's characters that I'm sure are fine upstanding citizens. Also to defend Joe Sousa. He mentioned that the Holy Ghost club "WAS" a fine place years ago. Most clubs like this "were" great places to go to. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, this particuiar club has downgraded it's patron requirements and allows scumbags to frequent it. Not that all who attend are, but obviously by this event, you have that element present.

@ Wendy- So let me get this straight? Wait.... Let's reveiw a piece of the story. "Duquette started, walked up to the woman, who was seated at the bar, and punched her in the face. As the women engaged in an altercation, Pires, who is Duquette's boyfriend, grabbed a golf club from their car and began swinging it around, hitting an air conditioner on the side of the building. Witnesses said Pires returned to his car, this time coming back with a baseball bat."
So explain to me how and why my comment is so off base? Who the heck goes to their car and gets a golf club and starts to swing it aound, damaging property, then to top it all off goes back to their car and returns with a baseball bat?? Sound pretty damn dim-witted to me. Whatever the reason Ms. Duquette had for starting the altercation with the 39 year old women, does not justify hitting her period!
Oh and a bit FYI? Let me just give you the official definition of scumbag?
- -Scumbag-- A person of poor judgement and no class.
Hmmm??? Well Wendy, seems the defintion fits them both now doesn't it. Oh, and Wendy, from one of your comments, you say that the two have more class in their little fingers.......? From the official definition of "scumbag", your statement may be a bit off base.

I was not there that night but did hear about it from many witnesses that filed complaints and the 39 yr.old had just arrived after getting out of work when she was assaulted and the P.D.filed a complaint against the male for his actions on them...so according to their friend all witnesses and p.d. are lying and her friends are the only ones speaking the truth....

You are all so ridiculous.... Accusing each other of crimes and releasing each other's names. All of you need to GROW UP!! The only common sense was that if someone embezzled $500,000, they would do jail time. It doesn't sound like this is the case. Time to stop talking badly about others, slandering each other, and take a look in the mirror.

I had no idea it was anywhere near $500,000. I heard it was $50,000-$100,000 and she got away with it because aside from having relatives paid who did not even work there it involved mostly cash which was too difficult to prove.No wonder everyone was so upset.

I am the most honest person. Bayview had money in the savings, every bill was paid, every cent made was reported to the membership, all employees were on the
books. All taxes were paid to Tiverton and the State of RI. My pay was on the books
and that was the only money I received. You have slander me and i will see a lawyor.

I am laughing nothing better to do than to keep dragging gossip to the 39 yr. old and her poor excuse as a man boyfriend and the mother grow up and get the story straight I bet it took a long time to plan all those lies about that night hope it doesnt happen at the 39 yr, olds other place of employment. and I hope everyone has a clean C.O.R.I. for their babysitting duties on Mondays while the 1 1/2 yr old runs around. How sad God forbid if this baby picked up someone's dring and started sipping it, or found something on the floor like a pill from lets say the 39 yr. olds boyfriend and put it in her mouth, becayse that is the age for those things, It wouldn't be so cute if that happened and I would be the first to say how long this daycare has been going on. Leave Pat and Ray alone it is a blessing that they moved on they did not belong in there anyways they have more class
