I was reviewing the FBI criminal complaint against Edgar Maddison Welch when I came across this statement:
"At about the time that everyone else was running away from WELCH, restaurant employee CW-1 was retrieving dough from a freezer in an alley behind the restaurant." #20, p.7
Does this violate some health code? Why would gourmet pizza chef Alefantis, obsessed with using local fresh ingredients, use FROZEN dough stored OUTSIDE the restaurant?
That entire paragraph (#20) is very important. The description of the encounter with employee CW-1 is the basis for one of only 2 charges brought against WELCH: "violations of 22 D.C. code 402 (Assault With a Dangerous Weapon) " p 1. By definition, just standing there with a gun, such that the other person feels threatened, would qualify. Welch was never charged with discharging a firearm inside a building. There has been no witness that PUBLICLY stated that they saw or heard Welch shoot his gun. The witness, CW-1 did not mention hearing gunshots prior to entering the building in the original D.C. police report. They handled the original case before the FBI was involved.
Another curiosity- much is made of Welch recruiting two friends to go with him and detailing his text conversation. (p.4-6) Yet obviously, only Welch showed up at Comet, with no explanation as to what happened to his friends. It is also recorded that Welch texted an unnamed GIRLFRIEND, who was left with Welch's CHILDREN. He had given the girlfriend no heads up about his "trip." Very strange indeed.
Interestingly, Welch VOLUNTARILY waived his right to remain silent and to council. (p. 8) WHY?

REPOSTING:
"North Carolina arrest records for an Edgar Maddison Welch date back to 2007, and include charges of possession of up to a half ounce of marijuana, possession of controlled substances, driving after consuming alcohol and driving with an open container of alcohol. He plead guilty on the alcohol and drug charges.
In October, Welch is alleged to have struck a 13-year-old with a car on Harrison Road in Salisbury, according to a WBTV story. He stayed at the scene, it was reported. Officials said the victim suffered head, torso and leg injuries.
Reports emerged late Sunday that Welch might be a struggling actor, with a resume that includes a half dozen minor jobs on film productions, including being an extra and production assistant." http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article118902963.html#storylink=cpy
According to police incidence report: Door, doorlock, computer tower, barrier wall was damaged/destroyed
According to the "public narrative" at the bottom of the page, NO ONE WITNESSED MADISON FIRING THE GUN. https://www.scribd.com/document/333293577/Comet-Gunman-Incident-Report

With regards to the alley and dough thing, that would be the cooler/storage room out the back of Comet. I remember reading a while ago somewhere that they share the usage of that with Little Red Fox next door, so not much in that one really.

I never read that. Could you get a link? They kept their jars of pizza sauce at James' other restaurant, Buck's, two doors down. I think the only back door to the parking lot is in the curtained "party room" in the back. Is that where the closeted hard drive was? Certainly seems very inconvenient to the cooking area in the front of the restaurant. Again, I was surprised that Chef James would use FROZEN pizza dough.

The rear exit in question is technically the rear from one point, but you're right in saying that the extreme rear exit is at the back of the party room which is riiiight at the back. That closeted hard drive place seems to be just before the first, nearest exit to the shared cooler. Thanks for that other link by the way, I've somehow not seen that posted before.

It is a rear exit for Little Red Fox, but not for Comet. Look at Google maps- Comet extends another building length beyond Fox.

There are pictures that show that it is for Comet as well. If you look on maps again, go into the car park, and you'll see the door in question.

I left video links above. I am correct. Rear for Fox, SIDE for Comet. Documents true rear door HAS NO FREEZER near it.
The referenced FREEZER must be in that white rectangular "room" off the back of LITTLE RED FOX. If not, WHERE?

"one door between the two companies"
It appears that one must exit a SIDE DOOR from the Comet kitchen area and come down steps to exit the door to the right of the white out building. But of course, Comet has no basement. LOL!

Does this "out" building comply with restaurant code for raw food storage?
