Tavern License Suspended Two Weeks by Court
Franklin County District Judge Floyd H. Coffman ordered the Great Plains Tavern at 110 N. Main to suspend its beer license for two weeks starting Friday. The ruling overturned the Ottawa City Commission’s six month revocation. The decision rejected arguments that Fernandez should not be penalized for a 17 year old drinking on March 7, despite lack of operator knowledge.
