Victoria Gorham, 19, of Mahwah, allegedly kicked and punched ABC Detective Tammy Siano after trying to flee questioning at The Mason Jar in Ramapo. Gorham was placed under arrest and charged with aggravated assault on a police officer and underage drinking. Detective Siano did not require medical attention at the scene, but did sustain some bruising on her legs.

ABC detectives observed Gorham and Michael Hauk, 19, of Mahwah, being served by bartenders without being asked for identification. Hauk was also charged with underage drinking and the two bartenders, Kenneth Piece, 50, of Suffern, New York, and Aubrielle Guimarra, 20, of Hewitt, were issued summonses for sales to an underage person.

“Underage drinking is a serious matter and our enforcement actions prove that there will be serious consequences for both consuming underage and selling alcohol to those underage,” Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control Director Michael Halfacre said.

The charge of selling alcohol to underage patrons is a disorderly persons offense which carries penalties including a fine of at least $500. Underage drinking is also a disorderly persons offense, carrying a potential fine of at least $500 and a six-month driver’s license suspension.

The liquor licenses of establishments involved in last week’s enforcement efforts will be reviewed by ABC for possible administrative charges. Those charges could result in the suspension of the bar’s alcoholic beverage license.

Director Halfacre said the ABC conducts undercover enforcement operations throughout New Jersey and its detectives have full police powers. The Division is the only statewide agency that exclusively enforces the Alcoholic Beverage Control laws.

Other charges brought by last week’s sweep include:
