FAIRFIELD, Conn. Fairfield police brought more charges against the owner of a Post Road hookah lounge Thursday. Jaled Mayki Gorra, 41, of Grasmere Ave., was charged after teenagers were found drinking alcohol in his business earlier this month, police say.
Patrol officers responded to a call at Casablanca Hookah Lounge at 86 Post Road on Jan. 15 for an unrelated incident. While there, officers saw four teenagers in the lounge, all under the age of 16, drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana, police say.
The Fairfield Health Department and the Fire Marshals office shut down the business the next day. Police arrested Gorra Thursday and charged him with four counts of risk of injury to a minor, one count of possession of narcotics and one count of permitting a minor to possess alcohol. His bond was set at $5,000, and he is due in court on Feb. 6.
Gorra also was arrested on Jan. 19 on suspicion of breaking the glass front door of the hookah lounge while trying to get inside after it had been shut down, police said. He was charged with disorderly conduct in that case.
