The Baltimore mayor's chief of staff and two other government officials sued an Ocean City Domino's pizza and related businesses for $30 million after employees at the beachfront pizzeria refused to serve them and allegedly imprisoned them in the restaurant for five to 10 minutes about 1:30 a.m. Aug. 15.
The owner of the Ocean City restaurant, John S. Basil, said service was refused because the three were "uncooperative," "belligerent" and "intoxicated," and denies that the three were held against their will, according to court papers.
A Worcester County Circuit Court judge ruled that most of the business entities connected with Domino's are not liable in the case, but is allowing a $5 million suit against the local establishment, Ocean City Extra Cheese, to move forward.
The incident occurred while the three were at the annual Maryland Association of Counties conference, which is attended by the state's top lawmakers and their staff.
It came to light last week because one of the plaintiffs, Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon's chief of staff, Demaune Millard, is involved in an unrelated legal matter. He and a former girlfriend have accused each other of assault stemming from an argument this month on an Inner Harbor cruise ship. He is on paid leave.
