A federal jury has found that the owner of a Penn Quarter sports bar illegally discriminated against a former employee because of her race and awarded her $687,000 in damages under federal and District anti-discrimination laws.
Jurors found that Redline owner Mick Dadlani and his company, Red Line DC LLC, violated the civil rights of newly hired bartender Briggitta Hardin around the time of the bar’s Dec. 2, 2010, grand opening.
