Linda Vail, the health officer for Ingham County, confirmed to the Washington Examiner that the Ingham County Health Department received a complaint that the Landshark Bar & Grill violated coronavirus health protocols when “a party exceeding six guests was allowed to gather” but said the matter has since been resolved.
