Troy Tank, managing partner in the newly rebranded Sandusky Family Diner, will appear via Zoom in front of a Sanilac County Circuit Court judge on Wednesday to argue that his restaurant’s dining room should be allowed to remain open even after the court ordered it closed.
The appearance follows at least 10 citations from the county health department for Tank’s refusal to follow orders initiated Nov. 18 by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to limit indoor dining to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. On Dec. 9, the court ordered the restaurant to close its dining room following a request for an emergency injunction by the Sanilac County Health Department, said Bryant Wilke, its director.
