MARSHALL —Â The owner of a Lynd restaurant was found in contempt of court Friday, after she said she would not follow a court order against indoor dining at her business.
A Ramsey County District Court judge said starting today, Larvita McFarquhar could be fined $250 for each day her restaurant is in violation of the court order.
The Minnesota Department of Health is suing the Haven’s Garden restaurant, for offering dine-in service in violation of state COVID-19 restrictions. Earlier this week, a judge granted a temporary injunction ordering McFarquhar to comply with executive orders affecting bars and restaurants. However, in videos posted on the Haven’s Garden Facebook page, McFarquhar said the restaurant would stay open.
