Residents of Dallas County call for Shelley Luther's release from jail after Luther failed to close her salon in compliance with stay-at-home orders.
Luther reopened Salon á la Mode on April 24 despite Dallas County's stay-at-home orders, which are in effect until Friday for salons and barbershops. She appeared in a court hearing on Tuesday after defying a cease-and-desist order.
Judge Eric Moyé sentenced her to seven days in jail, fined the salon $7,000 and ordered her to pay $500 each day until May 8, if the salon continues to remain open. Luther has been active in protests demanding the reopening of businesses in the state. Dallas residents have rallied for an end to the shutdown, after Abbott issued a statewide stay-at-home order that began April 2.
Abbott ended Texas' stay-at-home order on April 30, making it one of the nation's shortest order despite Texas being the second-largest state by population. He announced on Tuesday that barbershops and hair salons would be allowed to reopen as early as Friday and gyms as early as May 18.
