If a temporary injunction is prayed for, the court may issue an order restraining all persons from interfering in any way with the alcoholic beverages, fixtures or other things used in connection with the nuisance.

Upon judgment of the court ordering the nuisance abated, the court may order that the premises or vehicle shall not be occupied or used for six (6) months.
