COVID story unfairly attacks restaurant owner

I read the recent article “Cancun Mexican Restaurant violated COVID-19 requirements, state says, forcing one-week closure,” April 14, 2021. While I understand from the article there were patrons and security who did not adhere to state public health guidelines, I was appalled by the blatant character assassination engaged in by your reporter and apparently approved of by your editor before the story went to print. This was done by referencing an unrelated 2014 judicial matter, for which the business owner paid his debt to society. While I can understand that in researching the archives for the current story this remote historical matter was found, I take great issue with the grafting of this unrelated matter to the current story.
