Recently, the Southern Comforts business was issued a Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO") as the first steps in a civil nuisance abatement case from Superior Court Judge John Nobles {see PDF at http://www.co.onslow.nc.us/main/media_releases/mr_070206b.pdf}.
Defendants named included: John R. Lawler and Ann M. Lawler (owners), Reynold Lewis and Reynold Enterprises, LLC (tenant/operator).
Similar to Paradise Landing, these steps seem to be moving forward to closing another business that the residents of Sneads Ferry have been after for quite some time.
