A Texas salon owner was given seven days in jail on Tuesday after she refused to apologize for defying coronavirus related restrictions by remaining open for business.
Dallas business owner Shelley Luther was given a choice: She could offer an apology for selfishness, pay a fine and shutdown until Friday, or serve jail time.
"I have to disagree with you, sir, when you say that I'm selfish because feeding my kids is not selfish," she told the judge. "I have hairstylists that are going hungry because they would rather feed their kids. So sir, if you think the law is more important than kids getting fed, then please go ahead with your decision. But I am not going to shut the salon."
After her refusal to show contrition, bailiffs led her away to be booked. Her sentence reportedly symbolizes the seven-days she stayed open, despite county regulations.
Luther had been cited by city officials but chose to ignore the warnings. She must also now pay a $7,000 fine.

Do you know what the term or definition of, “Likely” is?
If not I can provide it for ya.
Done.
Abbott doesn’t give a rat’s ass.
A potential death sentence while they let criminals out of jail so they don’t get corona virus.
Our country is nuts.

Where is the US attorney or Bill Barr in the Shelly Luther case in Dallas. Judge Clay Jenkins should be ashamed of himself. Families are starving and you lock up a mother trying to feed her family while Texas inmates are being released. This judge needs to be removed.— Don Maggetti (@DonMaggetti) May 5, 2020
@realDonaldTrump we need Bill Barr in Dallas Texas to defend Shelly Luther for opening her hair salon to feed her kids. 7 days in jail !!! President Trump this has to stop!!!!— Kim Cruz (@KimCruz14608063) May 5, 2020
You must kneel before this judge and governor.
Never expected it in Texas.
My elderly mom divided her check into thirds. Food Bank for our church, friend who has a small bakery biz, and the rest to get new glasses and matress.
You can..maybe..possibly...not really.
Donated $10. Not a lot, but many are contributing small amounts to help Shelley and its adding up.
Texas ain’t that great.
(just kidding)
That is Dallas. Not Texas. There is a huge difference.
She needs to sue the State for unlawful prosecution.
And Dallas will continue to elect these Judges.
