The state Department of Consumer Protection has suspended the liquor license for a Bridgeport bar where dozens of college students were found drinking.
Police raided Golden Star Café, at 3915 Main St. in Bridgeport, on Tuesday, April 6 hours after police arresting a man suspected of sexually assaulting a 19-year-old Sacred Heart University student he met there.
Officers raided the bar because they suspected it was serving people who are underage, and charged 100 people for underage drinking, including 85 Sacred Heart students. They also cited the bar owner for liquor violations, police said.
Bridgeport Police Captain Brian Fitzgerald said police and the State Liquor Commission had already been planning an unannounced visit to this bar in a because of suspected underage drinking but moved the operation up after the report of the sexual assault.
Officials from the Department of Consumer Protection said they issued a summary suspension at the request of Bridheport Police.
