St. Martin Parish Judge Blocks Enforcement of Bar Restrictions
16th Judicial District Judge Anthony Thibodeaux has issued a temporary order that blocks the enforcement of restrictions on bars put in place by Governor John Bel Edwards for COVID-19 mitigation. The order in particular blocks the restrictions at Red s Levee Bar in Catahoula. Why them specifically? Well, they filed a lawsuit against the restrictions and this is how the judge ruled.
The judge s temporary order will be in place until a hearing can be held on December 28th. The order, according to a report published by KATC Television, quotes attorney Jeff Wittenbrink about the lawsuit and the judge s order.
