Trump's N.J. golf course pays $400K fine for serving alcohol to drunken man before fatal crash

[left-of-center2012]

Donald Trump’s golf club in Colts Neck has agreed to pay a $400,000 fine in a case brought by the state Division of Alcohol Beverage Control that threatened the liquor licenses of the ex-president’s three New Jersey facilities after a customer drove drunk and got into an accident that killed his father.

The former president’s golf club did not contest the charges and agreed to the fine, as well as service training for employees by a nationally recognized organization and a ban until Dec. 31 on selling any alcoholic beverages from carts, according to the consent order. The state initially sought to revoke Colts Neck’s liquor license “due to the aggravating circumstances in this case,” and also would have pulled the licenses from Trump’s other clubs in Bedminster and Pine Hill, state Attorney General Gurbir Grewal said.

Andrew Halder of Woodcliff Lake had been served alcohol from a cart before leaving the Colts Neck club on Aug. 30, 2015. His car flipped and rolled after hitting the curb on a ramp, the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office said at the time.

His father, Gary, was ejected from the car and later died. Halder was charged with vehicular homicide and other offenses. The original charges said the cart could only carry beer but Halder was served a non-malt alcoholic beverage while he was “actually or apparently intoxicated.”
