According to an arrest affidavit, undercover deputies went to the auto shop at 1011 W. Lancaster Drive after learning the place was being used as an after-hours club.
The deputies paid a cover charge and bought alcohol at the bar, the affidavit said.
After they left, they returned to execute a search warrant and three people working the bar were arrested, deputies said.
The sheriff’s office said Vera and Guerrero were working as bartenders and Cruz was collecting cover charges at the door “as if in a management position.”
