bars-for-repeated-openings-during-pandemic-report
The owner and an employee of a Southern California bar and restaurant
could each face a year behind bars following a dispute at the business in
mid-December, according to a report.
Authorities say the Costa Mesa bar’s manager, Luiza Mauro, is accused of
physically trying to prevent a uniformed police officer from entering the
Westend Bar on Dec. 12, FOX 11 of Los Angeles reported.
Meanwhile, Mauro’s boss – bar owner Roland Barrera – is accused of
repeatedly opening the business in violation of coronavirus-related
restrictions and curfews, the report said.
Barrera became the first Orange County business owner to face a criminal
charge for operating during the pandemic, the Orange County Register
reported.
NEWSOM SUED BY RESTAURANT OWNER OVER CALIFORNIA CORONAVIRUS SHUTDOWN
Barrera kept reopening the business "despite repeated attempts by law
enforcement and the city Code Enforcement officers to educate the bar
owner on the law," the office of Orange County District Attorney Todd
Spitzer said in a news release, according to FOX 11.
But Costa Mesa Mayor Katrina Foley said the days of "education" about the
law are now over.
"We are at a juncture now where we are in a public health crisis, probably
bordering on a disaster," Foley told the Register. "The days of continued
education of what people already know and are defying intentionally are
over. It was quite apparent that they were thumbing their noses at all the
public health orders."
Costa Mesa police, code enforcement officers and representatives of the
state Department of Alcohol Beverage Control have visited the bar on
numerous occasions since a statewide curfew took effect in mid-November,
the FOX 11 said.
Both Barrera and Mauro are scheduled to be arraigned June 22 but could
avoid jail time if they avoid further violations, the DA’s office said in
its statement, FOX 11 reported.
Spitzer called the alleged repeated violations "a slap in the face to
hardworking business owners who continue to try to do the right thing
during these extremely trying times," the station reported.
Frustration with restrictions
Elsewhere, however, some California bar and restaurant owners have claimed
that doing the right thing may be putting them out of business.
In December, the owner of a bar and restaurant in Los Angeles filed a
lawsuit in federal court, claiming Gov. Gavin Newsom’s ban on outdoor
dining has been overly broad and not based on scientific evidence.
Also in December, a restaurant owner in Contra Costa County in Northern
California said his customers were holding "picnic protests" – using their
own chairs outside to help the business owner avoid fines.

A third restaurant owner – this one in Ventura, Calif. – claimed he was
being forced to shut down after setting up tables outside his business.
"We have worn masks, we have listened to everything they tell us to do,"
Anton Van Happen said during an appearance on Fox News’ "Outnumbered
Overtime." "And now, all of a sudden, it is like we are getting punished
for it."
