HOLLAND, Michigan — Hundreds of supporters rallied for Marlena Hackney Saturday, the Michigan restaurateur jailed after refusing to comply with coronavirus orders.
Hackney, an immigrant who fled communist Poland as a teenager, was arrested Friday on a misdemeanor contempt of court charge. She was denied bond and remains in an Ingham County jail.
Her restaurant, Marlena’s Bistro and Pizzeria in Holland, was told to close by governor’s order, like many did at the height of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s (D) executive order spree. But Hackney reopened last summer and faced orders to close by state agents.
She repeatedly refused and was ordered to turn herself in Thursday. When she ignored that demand, Hackney was arrested early Friday and taken to a Lansing jail, some 100 miles away from Holland.
“Free Marlena, Free America,” one sign read. “Support Marlena,” said another in the crowd that also had many American flags.
Tammy Clark told the crowd, “When they picked on Marlena, they picked on the wrong woman. Marlena escaped communism, hello?”
Another said, “Arrest Whitmer and (Michigan Attorney General Dana) Nessel for stealing our right to work and provide for ourselves”
Clark argued Whitmer’s administration is “targeting” Hackney, because other restaurateurs have been fined, but none have been jailed.
Meshawn Maddock, vice chair of the Michigan Republican Party, said, “Whitmer’s policies can kill seniors and lie about it, and Nessel just writes it off. But if Marlena in Holland serves a sandwich, she’s got to serve time.”
