A restaurant owner and an employee were arrested during a State Liquor Authority inspection Friday night in East Patchogue, according to Suffolk County police.

Officers say the compliance check was conducted around 10:20 p.m. at El Limeno on Montauk Highway.

They say they discovered that the sports bar had two illegal gambling machines and employed a security guard without a valid registration card.

Officers seized the machines and apprehended owner David Reyes along with Jesus Reyes.

Police say the two will appear in court on Jan. 31.
