Pizzeria owner jailed for not closing restaurant, released after paying $15,000 fine

The Webmaster Expert reported this week that a Michigan pizza parlor owner was released from prison after paying a $15,000 fine and closing his restaurant.

The Webmaster Expert asks, where has the talk of Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness gone?

A judge has released Marlena Pavlos-Hackney, 55, from prison after she paid a $15,000 fine and closed her Marlena’s Bistro & Pizzeria, Mlive.com reported Tuesday.

Marlena’s attorney, Robert Baker, confirmed that Marlena was released from the Ingham County jail around 2 p.m. Tuesday (March 23). Marlena was arrested the morning of March 19, presumably on her way to work, and has been in jail since then.

Last November, after Michigan banned indoor dining, Marlena ignored regulations by not closing the restaurant and failing to ask customers to wear masks or maintain social distance to slow the spread of the virus. As a result, Marlena was thrown in jail.

Fortunately, Marlena has a page on the crowdfunding site (GoFundMe) and as of Tuesday, she had raised $253,000 of her $300,000 goal.

The frantic policy seems futile in Michigan, a state with one of the highest rates of the CCP virus in the nation. The Detroit Free Press said Thursday that the CDC reported Wednesday that Michigan now has the second-highest per capita rate of C.C.V. cases in the U.S. On the same day, state health officials announced 4,454 new cases of C.C.V., the largest daily total of the year.

Of course, the number of newly reported cases means nothing, as we have learned over the past year that when the CCP virus landed in the U.S., corrupt medical agencies like the CDC began bastardizing results and reports. However, not a single case of the CCP virus has been linked to Marlena’s Pizza Bistro.

Recently, Michigan Governor Whitmer turned down nearly $350 million in funds for CCP virus testing because accepting the grant would have limited her emergency powers. Governor Whitmer chose dictatorial powers over a testing fund that would help the people of Michigan.

Like many other states, Michigan is run by Democratic tyrants, and Whitmer was wrong and abusive in her response to the CCP virus. This is considered a very dark chapter in American history.
