Holland, MI — A judge has declined to dismiss the case against a western Michigan restaurant owner who was jailed and fined $15,000 for violating state orders that banned indoor dining during the pandemic. Marlena Pavlos-Hackney, owner of Marlena’s Bistro and Pizzeria, had asked an Ingham County judge to dismiss the case against her and award her damages. However, The Grand Rapids Press reports Circuit Judge Wanda Stokes sided Thursday with the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, which filed a complaint against here in February 2021. That complaint eventually resulted in the restaurant being shuttered for five months after the agency suspended her food license.
