ALPINE, N.J. (1010 WINS) -- Police have arrested a New Jersey man who threw a huge mansion party in Alpine at the beginning of the month, according to a report.
Tashay Knight, 45, has been arrested for hosting and selling tickets to a pool party with approximately 400 guests on Aug. 1, the New York Post reported.
Hundreds were seen without masks partying outside the home on Hemlock Drive in Alpine, NBC New York previously reported. Police shut down the "The Lavish Experience Pool Party" which spilled out onto the street.
According to the report, some were seen passed out on the lawn and one person was taken away in an ambulance. One woman reportedly took a shuttle bus from Brooklyn to attend the party with friends.
Last month, an event called BikiniPalooza was held at the same location.
Gov. Phil Murphy addressed the investigation during one of his briefings earlier this month. "Based on the description, there was close congregation and not a lot of face covering, if any. If in fact people are busted and there was a promoted party, that's not gonna end well," he said.
Murphy previously announced the limit on indoor gatherings would be reduced to 25 percent capacity, citing too many indoor house parties which have led to the COVID-19 transmission rate continued to increase.
