Bartenders charged with serving minors

Four bartenders at two Huntington bars were arrested early Saturday morning and charged with serving alcohol to minors, Suffolk County police said.

Police said they conducted a State Liquor Authority inspection at the Black Lantern Lounge, on Wall Street, and Bel Posto, on New Street, after complaints from members of the community.

They arrested Cindy Ann Digiuseppi, 35, of New Hyde Park and Melissa Bishop, 25, of Huntington Station, both employees of the Black Lantern Lounge. Police later arrested Anthony Basile, 28, of Brightwaters, and Giuseppe Iannucci, 28, of Westbury, both bartenders at Bel Posto.

The fire marshal and the Town of Huntington issued several summonses to the bars. Neither bar was shut down, police said.

The four suspects were charged with serving alcohol to a minor, a misdemeanor. They are scheduled to appear Oct. 3 in First District Court in Central Islip.
