Hattiesburg files motion asking court to find Top 5ive Bar and Grill in contempt
HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDAM) - The City of Hattiesburg filed a contempt motion in Forrest County Chancery Court against a local bar and grill.
Hattiesburg filed the motion against Top 5ive Bar and Grill, asking the court to find the business in contempt of a mutually-agreed upon resolution to a complaint lodged by the city.
Should Top 5ive Bar and Grill be found in contempt, the city is asking the court to permanently close the business or, as an alternative, require it to close at 10 p.m.
A hearing tentatively is set for next week in Chancery Court.
According to the latest court document filed on Sept. 13, the city claims Top 5ive Bar and Gill did not keep certain conditions of the agreement.
The city outlined these claims in the motion, which is attached below:
