Lyons is accused of hosting many other parties without the proper authorization from officials, according to the lawsuit. He and St. John Missionary could face injunctive relief and civil penalties. Lyons marketed the event to be a “fun and safe space,” saying he had 60 security personnel, metal detectors and a bag prohibition.
