The Liquor and Beer Licensing Board has voted to suspend the liquor license of Syn Night Club. It was a unanimous 7 to 0 vote.

Syn Night Club is the newly-named 13 Pure night club on East Pikes Peak Avenue in Colorado Springs. The review was called in a direct response to a weekend incident that started inside the club and moved outside in which more than 100 people were fighting and about half of the entire Colorado Springs police force on duty were forced to respond.

"The situation at Syn Nightclub is a threat to public safety and welfare,” said a spokesperson from the city attorney’s office.

At the emergency liquor board hearing four Colorado Springs police officers testified about what happened at Syn early Sunday morning when a large gang fight broke out.

"Inside the club there was a victim laying on the ground in blood," said Sgt. Joshua Benner, who was on scene that night.

As the fight moved outside the club, police struggled to control the crowd of about a hundred.

"We weren't able to correctly do our job in order to get to the victims to render aid," Benner said.

In all 22 units responded, that's nearly half of the officers who were on patrol that night and police were forced to use pepper spray to disperse the crowd.

"Because of the many police men and women having to come on site the rest of citizens of Colorado Springs were going through period of significantly reduced public safety," said Randy Kouba who’s on the liquor board.

But Damon Cassens, attorney for Syn, is upset saying his client's business has been unfairly targeted.

"There is no imminent danger and there is no imminent harm," Cassens said.

He was not able to present his side of the case though because of the nature of the hearing and the fact that it was called because of a public safety concern.

The board said in the meeting Wednesday that it found reasonable grounds that the violation occurred and that's all they needed to issue a suspension. The suspension will last 15 days. The board will hear the matter in full at the next regularly scheduled hearing on March 19th.

Since November Colorado Springs police officers have been assigned to the area around Syn Nightclub because of continued gang activity in the area.
