Not So Fast: Indiana Excise Police Halt Plymouth Drive-In Theatre's Opening

PLYMOUTH, Ind. (AP) — State excise police have halted a northern Indiana drive-in theater’s plans to open for the season, telling county officials current coronavirus restrictions prevent drive-ins from throwing open their gates to cars loaded with moviegoers.

The Tri-Way Drive-In Theatre had announced that it would start its season this weekend in the city of Plymouth, about 25 miles south of South Bend.

But the Marshall County Health Department's administrator, Ashley Garcia, says that State Excise Police told her the drive-in can't open until Gov. Eric Holcomb lifts his stay-at-home and “essential business” restrictions amid the coronavirus pandemic.
