James Dolan threatened to halt alcohol sales at New York Rangers hockey games in response to the state’s investigation into his use of facial-recognition technology at properties owned by Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp.

Dolan, the company’s chairman, said in an interview with Fox 5 that the New York State Liquor Authority has been “extremely aggressive” in its investigation and has threatened to take away MSG’s license to sell alcohol. Dolan said he believes officials are targeting his license to generate publicity.
