The governor's comments were in response to problems the Christian County Health Department is having with a local restaurant that refused to stop serving customers after its permit was suspended.
The alleged threat was made in a comment to a Facebook post about a Hopkinsville restaurant losing its food service permit in a dispute about coronavirus regulations.
The dispute is apparently over the size of side openings on the tent following Gov. Andy Beshear’s executive order that halted inside restaurant dining Nov. 20 through Dec. 13 because of an escalation of COVID-19 cases.
