Officials say in addition to their liquor license suspension, both bar owners will have to pay fines of over $100,000.

The announcement comes after three separate drunk driving crashes involving customers who were overserved at Brickwall Tavern & Dining in 2016 and at Alloway Village Inn in 2013 and 2015.

Four people were killed in the crashes.
