HOLLAND (WHTC-AM/FM) — The fate of Marlena’s Bistro & Pizzeria, 909 Lincoln Ave. in Holland, remains unknown after a Feb. 1, 2021, hearing with state officials.
But Marlena Pavlos shared a note on her restaurant’s Facebook page saying she’d reopen for business on Feb. 2, 2021. And she was, despite state health officials suspending her license to operate and threatening to revoke it pemanently.
Pavlos faces fines and possible jail time over her on-going refusal to comply with state rules that barred dine-in service for several weeks. Allegan County Health Department officials, as well as police documented that she was not enforcing masks or social-distancing as required by state rules.
The Holland Sentinel reported that Pavlos represented herself at the online hearing before Administrative Law Judge Lauren G. Van Steel.
Judge Van Steel heard testimony from state and Allegan County health officials. Her opinion will be delivered in written form after she reviews information from Monday’s hearing according to The Sentinel’s story.
