The battle between the Iron Pig Smokehouse and the state continues as a contempt hearing was held on Monday.
The issue at hand was the restaurant violating the temporary restraining order put on them on Feb. 4.
Ingham County Circuit Court Judge Clinton Canady presided and will decide if the Iron Pig should face any punishment or fines.
During the hearing, the attorney representing the Iron Pig, David Delaney told Judge Canady the restaurant was hurt financially when they weren’t open for Super Bowl Sunday, and he should consider that when determining possible fines.
The opposing side argued other restaurants were hurting while The Iron Pig disobeyed orders put out by the health department.
