RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — The owners of a Rapid City hotel are facing a lawsuit over a social media post by one of them that promised to ban Native Americans from the property.
The lawsuit comes from a shareholder who happens to be a relative of the family that owns the Gateway Hotel.
Judson Uhre recently filed a lawsuit in Pennington County against his mother, Connie Uhre, and his brothers, Nick and Chad Uhre, as well as the company that operates the hotel, Retsel Corporation.
Judson is alleging a breach of fiduciary duty, shareholder oppression and interference in the hotel’s operation.
