Watch: Body cam shows Patriots party at downtown Boston restaurant

Boston police body-camera footage released Monday captures the final minutes of an after-hours celebration that spilled into the early morning of Jan. 27 at Estella, a Temple Place restaurant where New England Patriots players had gathered following their AFC championship victory hours earlier.

The five 30-minute recordings, obtained by Boston.com through a public-records request, show officers entering the dimly lit venue at 2:26 a.m. after complaints of an illegal party. Restaurant owner Helder George Brandao quickly greets them, saying, “It’s just the Patriots players. They’re getting ready to leave. They’re just celebrating the win. They’re not doing nothing.”

Throughout the footage, hookahs sit atop tables and dollar bills litter the floor, while three nude or partially nude women are discovered hiding in a rear stairwell, apparently attempting to avoid police. One woman, clad in a fur coat, tells an officer, “You have all the f—ing Patriots here, and this is their private party.”

Although poor lighting and crowded conditions make it impossible to clearly identify specific players, an officer is heard asking, “Are you talking about Kayshon Boutte?” when a patron mentions the Patriots wide receiver. Another man, referred to as “KC,” is believed by partygoers to be linebacker K’Lavon Chaisson; neither player is shown being questioned or detained.

Police reported smelling tobacco and marijuana and documented numerous liquor bottles past the 2 a.m. closing time mandated by state law. Brandao later acknowledged to the Boston Licensing Board that violations included indoor smoking, unauthorized adult entertainment, and after-hours alcohol service. He blamed the players for escalating the scene and leaving without settling their tabs.

The board ultimately imposed a three-day suspension on Estella’s liquor license, with two days held in abeyance for one year. No arrests or citations were issued to any Patriots players or patrons.
