Monica's liquor license in jeopardy after North End shooting

• Mendoza was arrested Friday at a substance abuse treatment facility in Falmouth.

Catch up fast: While Mendoza was on the lam last week, licensing officials called a hearing about the restaurant's liquor license.

• They expressed concerns about his "character and fitness" as manager to hold a liquor license.
• William Ferullo, the Mendoza family's attorney, asked that Amanda McQueen, Mendoza's wife and the restaurant's assistant manager, become the new "manager of record" to retain the license.

Between the lines: The city notice claimed Monica's violated state law by having "no manager on duty" in Mendoza's absence.

Plus: Mendoza's failure to appear before the board last week violated state law and the board's rules, according to the notice.

• A call and voicemail to Ferullo's office Monday requesting comment were not returned.

What we're watching: Ferullo had until Friday to submit proof that McQueen has no criminal record and is otherwise qualified for the role.

• Ferullo submitted an application, which licensing board members are reviewing, a city spokesperson told Axios.
