Another five restaurants have had their liquor licenses suspended for being open in violation of Michigan’s health orders.
The Michigan Liquor Control Commission announced the latest violations on Tuesday, Dec. 29. All of the businesses must attend a Zoom hearing in front of an Administrative Law Judge, who will determine if further fines and liquor license suspensions are warranted.
The MLCC has suspended licenses at 31 establishments since September.
Michigan health orders mandate bars and restaurants can’t be open for indoor dine-in seating through Jan. 15. Masks are also required.
Plymouth Police K-9 Shot Dead By Officer
A Plymouth Police Department K-9 named Nico is dead after the dog attacked its handler and was shot by the officer.
Tuesday morning at around 9:20 a.m. Plymouth officers were dispatched to Court Street for a report of a fleeing suspect. K-9 Officer Keith Larson pulled into a commercial parking lot to prepare Nico, a German shepherd, for the operation. During the interaction, Nico bit Larson. The officer was forced to use his service weapon after several unsuccessful attempts to disengage the dog, according to Police Chief Michael Botieri.
Larson was transported to South Shore Hospital and was treated for injuries to his hands, and is expected to be OK.
