MN Attorney General seeks contempt order against Lakeville bar for violation of COVID executive order

LAKEVILLE, Minn. — The Minnesota Attorney General's Office said it will ask a Dakota County judge to find Alibi Drinkery in Lakeville in contempt of court for continuing to operate in violation of a COVID-19 pandemic executive order, despite a court-issued injunction prohibiting the business from opening to the public.
A hearing in the case is scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 5.
In the injunction issued on Thursday, the court said Alibi Drinkery's initial opening earlier this month was "exploiting the good conduct of others in the community who are following the law."
The Attorney General's Office said owner Lisa Zarza told the court the business was closed again on Dec. 22; but on Dec. 30, Alibi Drinkery began to publicly advertise it would reopen, and was observed to be serving customers indoors on New Year's Eve.
