Newark Police officials are reporting the arrest of Ms. Denisse Tinizaray, 26, and Ms. Katherine Tinizaray, 28, both of Newark, for maintaining an illegal liquor establishment today.
According to police, at approximately 12 a.m., detectives of the Newark Police Division’s Vice Crimes Task Force investigated reports of a large party at a warehouse located at 6 Libella Court. Responding detectives observed two-woman selling alcoholic beverages from behind a makeshift bar at the location, where over 200 patrons were eating, drinking alcohol and participating in illegal gambling in the middle of the current COVID-19 pandemic.
Neither of the two women behind the bar were able to produce the appropriate paperwork proving they held a license to sell alcohol.
Both women, Denisse Tinizaray and Katherine Tinizaray were arrested with each facing charges of maintaining an illegal alcohol establishment and illegal possession of alcohol.
