ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- A judge on Thursday barred two weekend parties and temporarily banned any other events from being held at a mansion where a 400-guest party last weekend hosted by San Francisco 49ers linebacker Julian Peterson and Washington Redskins linebacker LaVar Arrington ended with an early morning shooting.
Anne Arundel County officials had sought the 10-day restraining order issued by Circuit Judge Ronald A. Silkworth. The order prevents the owner or anyone else from living in or hosting events at the 18,000-square-foot house.
Neighbors have complained that the owner is running an unauthorized nightclub where admission has been charged for parties lasting until 4 a.m. There have been sewage overflows and hundreds of cars choking the street, county officials said in a 14-page complaint filed Thursday.
"We are concerned about the health and safety of people. We are concerned about the condition of the neighborhood," said Michael Lord, an assistant county attorney.
The county fined the mansion owner $100 for not having proper permits, according to Anne Arundel officials.
Authorities say that the house does not have a residential occupancy permit, and that the owner has been operating a commercial business in a residential area in violation of zoning laws.
The two parties set for this weekend and advertised on the Internet were not "authorized" by Oladipo Olafunmiloye, said his attorney, Michael R. Worthy. Olafunmiloye is president of Lafa Inc. of Waldorf, the company that owns the home.
"There is a strong possibility that he won't be having any more parties," Worthy said.
The order was sought after James G. Sidney, 35, of Hyattsville was shot Sunday at an event that was hosted by Peterson and Arrington, Arundel police said. Sidney was apparently working security when he was shot after trying to intervene in a scuffle on the lawn outside the home.
Sidney was listed in serious condition Thursday at Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore.
