Texas salon owner who refused to shut down despite lockdown is JAILED
The defiant Texas salon owner who refused to close her business despite stay-at-home restrictions and repeated court orders has been sentenced to seven days in jail.
Shelley Luther, the owner of Salon a la Mode in Dallas, appeared in court on Tuesday where she was sentenced to seven days behind bars and $7,000 - $500 for each day she opened her business' doors.
Gov. Greg Abbott's started phase one of Texas reopenings last week, but did not allow salons to resume business - but that didn't stop Luther from opening up.
Dallas County Judge Eric Moyé found Luther in criminal and civil contempt of court and told her she owed local leaders an apology.
He gave her the opportunity to admit fault and offered to commute her sentence if she apologized for 'being seflish', but Luther refused to admit she did anything wrong.
'I have to disagree with you, sir, when you say that I am selfish because feeding my kids is not selfish. I have hair stylists that are going hungry because they'd rather feed their kids. So sir, if you think the law is more important than kids being fed, then please go ahead with your decision. But I'm not going to shut the salon,' she said before the judge.
If the salon continues to operate, the judge ordered Luther to pay $500 each day through May 8, which is when Texas will allow salons and barbershops to reopen.

Did Carter have legal authorization to sell it? Like Obama’s Iran deal? Heard a rumor from locals when I was visiting the Grand Canyon that it was sold to China..? That was a weird conversation that rustled my jimmies.
Yeah and he committed suicide at the end of the story.
