A troubled bar in Port Chester was shut down due to multiple COVID- 19 and other violations, where PCPD officers found hookahs in use.

Police Department officers observed numerous violations of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s executive orders, as well as village ordinance violations, health department violations and code violations at El Nuevo Jomas, as the recovered 25 hookahs from the packed drinking hole.

Police officers filmed video of the potentially deadly scene where the fire alarms were disarmed and a live DJ was playing music to to mostly unmasked patrons.

These violations led to an emergency hearing of the State Liquor Authority, whereas their liquor license was suspended due to infractions like Jomas was not serving food with the drinks that is another violation of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s executive orders.

A full Port Chester code enforcement inspection of the building, led to further charges, prompting the bar owner Jamie Reyes to be given notice that his business space was closed until further notice.

Jamie Reyes, of Harrison, New York has previously been charged by the Village of Port Chester for for operating a bar past the maximum capacity and other violations.
