A Maryland restaurant owner wants to know who authorized the “raid” of law enforcement who descended on his business and charged him with allegedly violating the state’s coronavirus orders.
The owner of Lee’s Landing Dock Bar in Port Deposit, Charles Harry Craven Jr., faces a year in jail and $5,000 in fines if he is convicted for trying to keep his employees working while serving the community take-out food.
But managing owner Dave Carey maintains that the approximately 70 people waiting for their orders Sunday were following social distancing guidelines “to the letter of the law,” and he wants to know why the eatery was swarmed with police.
“What exactly did we do wrong?” Carey asked, according to the Cecil Whig Daily.
“And who had the authority to take that many resources off the road?” he added, referring to the 15 uniformed officers from 4 different law enforcement agencies who arrived at the popular waterfront restaurant Sunday because it was allegedly in violation of Gov. Larry Hogan’s social distancing and crowd size orders.
