Governor Ned Lamont today announced that the State of Connecticut has issued a $10,000 fine against owners of the property at 456 Connecticut Avenue in Bridgeport, the location of the Mango Z Sports Bar, for violating the state’s COVID-19 gathering size restrictions as enacted in Executive Order No. 9N.
The violation stems from an incident that occurred at Mango Z in the early morning hours of December 20, 2020, in which Bridgeport Police were called to the scene after reports of shots fired. The Connecticut Department of Public Health – the state agency that issued the fine – determined that more than 25 people were inside of the establishment that night in violation of the gathering size restrictions, while also noting that it was operating past the mandatory 10:00 p.m. closing time that is currently in effect as part of the ongoing public health emergency.
