the vehicle to be removed.
“I’m just waiting for
the police to pull it out of
the water,” said the car’s
owner. “I want to get some
things out, like my wallet
with my credit cards
and papers. My girlfriend
wants to get her badge
(she’s an off-duty cop),” he
said.
The car’s owner wasn’t
thrilled about the incident,
but was glad he and
his girlfriend were safe.
As a result of the crash,
the Gateway National
Park police force — which
oversees Floyd Bennett
Field — said it would
step up enforcement at
the park, where drivers
often race along the old
airplane runways. The
police force will would
issue more summonses
and warnings to drivers
for speeding and other infractions,
it claimed.
The NYPD confi rmed
that the offi cer has been
placed on modifi ed duty
and that Internal Affairs
will look into the matter.
BY BEN VERDE
A Crown Heights bar is
under fi re for fl outing social
distancing guidelines
numerous times, according
to the State Liquor Authority,
which issued an
emergency suspension of
the watering hole’s liquor
license on April 24.
The Atlantic Boat Club,
on Atlantic Avenue near
Grand Avenue, had been
serving patrons on three
separate occasions despite
Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s order
prohibiting dine-in
service to stem the spread
of the novel coronavirus,
resulting in several summonses
for its owner and
the suspension of the tavern’s
liquor license.
The tavern was fi rst issued
a warning on March
15 — at which time an executive
order from the
governor mandated all
businesses to operate at
50 percent capacity —
when authorities say they
observed 86 customers inside
the 10-person-capacity
barroom.
The directive banning
on-premises service went
into effect the next day
— yet on March 26, police
offi cers conducting
an inspection found three
customers in the bar, who
were told to disperse.
Nearly a month into
the citywide shutdown,
cops returned for another
inspection on April 14
and found a large line at
the door and a bouncer.
Once they got inside, they
discovered 14 patrons
crammed into the tiny
bar. Cops issued a summons
to the owner and ordered
him to disperse the
crowd — only to be met
with a rowdy group of
customers waiting to get
in, according to the state
liquor authority.
The very next day, authorities
returned once
more to fi nd two customers
drinking at the bar,
according to the agency.
On April 23, the State
Liquor Authority slapped
the bar with several violations.
Each violation
comes with a $10,000 fi ne,
and the bar is now faced
with the possibility of
permanently losing its license
to operate, the state
said.
