Seventy-two arrest warrants have been issued for individuals who were present at Bravo Restaurant and Bar when it was raided on Oct. 20, according to The Connecticut Post.
Over 100 underage students, most of whom were Fairfield and Sacred Heart students, were found to be at the establishment last month with fake ID cards.
Individuals are being charged with a misdemeanor of misrepresentation of age. This charge may result in a fine of $200 to $500 or up to 30 days in jail, or both. The students are also subject to having their drivers license suspended for up to 150 days, according to the Post article.
“At this point, no charges have been filed against the bar’s owner,” Fairfield Police Chief Dave Peck said to the Post. “The permittee and manager of Bravo Restaurant LLC is listed as Michael Constand. The investigation into the incident is continuing.”
Peck also told the Post in reference to the students who have warrants issued against them, “Some of the kids are already calling to ask when they should turn themselves in.”
He also mentioned that the police have been investigating the sources of the students’ fake IDs.
“We believe most of them got them online,” said Peck.
It is unclear how many Fairfield students currently have warrants held against them and if any will face discipline from the University. Dean of Students Tom Pellegrino did not respond to The Mirror’s questions by press time.
Fairfield Police could also not be reached for comment to The Mirror by press time.
