Edna’s Soul Food Restaurant workers to receive owed back pay
The owner of a Brownsville soul-food restaurant has been sentenced to prison for failing to pay his employees close to $17,000 in back wages, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle has learned.
The defendant, Earl Davis, resides in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Davis previously pleaded guilty to one count of an attempted scheme to defraud. Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Danny Chun presided over Davis’ sentencing.
Davis owned Edna’s Soul Food Restaurant on Atlantic Avenue in Brownsville, serving as the restaurant’s president as well as running the day-to-day operations.
