HUBBARD TOWNSHIP — Despite the lifting of the state’s curfew, Ohio agents are continuing their crackdown on liquor establishments for not following other public health orders put in place by Gov. Mike DeWine’s office.
New Manhattan, Inc. known as New Manhattan, 7262 Hubbard Masury Road, was cited earlier this week by the Ohio Investigative Unit on a charge of improper conduct-disorderly activity.
According to a news release from the OIU, agents “observed approximately 100 patrons inside the overcrowded establishment. There were no social distancing measures in place and patrons were intermingling with other social groups throughout the premises.”
Al McClung, owner of The New Manhattan said “From the beginning of all these lockdowns, our only priority was to keep our employees in a paycheck, so they could feed their families. I never feared our government until this year. When they say you can’t fight city hall, it’s true. I guess we won’t sing, we won’t dance, we won’t laugh until Gov. DeWine says we can.”
