Right now, Mac’s awaits a Zoom hearing over civil litigation. The case had been rescheduled from Feb. 2 to March 12.
The Grant City eatery was launched into the national spotlight as it refused to follow government COVID-19 restrictions and subsequently became a flashpoint for protests. The bar then came under fire when general manager Danny Presti allegedly ran his car into a sheriff’s deputy in the street. A grand jury declined to indict Presti on assault and reckless endangerment.
In response, the Sherriff s Office said that the injuries sustained by the deputy were misdiagnosed by the emergency room physician, and that he was still out of work on medical leave as a result of the incident. Sergeant Matos is the victim of a crime, an assault using deadly physical force, and his attacker calling for anyone s resignation is genuinely absurd, the office said.
Last Friday, Presti was charged with unlicensed sale of alcohol and operating an unlicensed bottle club, prosecutors said. He however was not charged for the alleged assault on the sheriff s deputy, the charges for which were dropped.
