An attorney for a Staten Island bar owner arrested on violations of the state's coronavirus dining restrictions said at least 20 summonses against the pub's patrons have been dropped, though its legal battles are far from over.
Louis Gelormino, who is representing the co-owner of Mac's Public House, Danny Presti, said at a news conference in front of the bar on Wednesday that the abandoned summonses included four against himself.
Gelormino also said that the bar still has some "civil matters to deal with," including health and building violations that he called "bogus." Mac's Pub is hoping to reopen when those matters are dismissed.
