WILLOW CITY, ND (AP) – A Willow City bar owner who says the state put him out of business with COVID-19 restrictions is raising funds to file a federal civil rights complaint.
David Corum, who ran the Gunslingers Bar, said he had spoken to fellow bar owners about hosting fundraisers.
A Northeast District judge ruled last week that Corum had violated Governor Burgum’s March 19 ordinance that kept customers away from bars and restaurants.
The Bottineau County Sheriff’s office cited Corum’s bar five times.
Corum told the court that he had given up his alcohol license and was running private events where people donated for alcohol costs.
