Breaking NewsSalon a la Mode owner Shelley Luther reopened on April 30 even though the state has required non-essential businesses to remain closed.4:21 PM CDT May 5, 2020DALLAS — A Dallas salon owner who has continued offering services despite a citation, cease-and-desist letter and a restraining order was sentenced on Monday to seven days in jail.In Tuesday afternoon's hearing, Dallas Civil District Judge Eric Moyé also ordered her to pay thousands in fines for refusing to shut down her salon in violation of shelter in place orders.&nbsp;The judge heard testimony from a Dallas code inspector and a Dallas police officer who both testified they saw clients inside the salon getting haircuts and manicures over the last seven days despite Moyé's rulings.City attorneys argued Luther willfully and flagrantly violated Judge Moyé's order.RELATED:Luther took the stand saying she had to open out of necessity.“I have no choice. I need to feed my family and my stylists could not feed their families,” Luther said.But she also testified she had recently received a loan from the federal government.The judge became visibly upset after being interrupted twice and having to tell Luther's attorney to sit down.“You will not interrupt me in my courtroom," Moyé said.City attorneys argued that it didn’t matter how Luther was operating her salon and that the only issue at hand was whether she was open in violation of the temporary restraining order.Moyé asked Luther if she was still operating to this day.“Yes, partially," Luther said.Moyé told Luther she was both criminally and civilly in violation of his order.He said Luther could not just take matters into her own hands because she decided that's what she wanted to do.“The rule of law governs us. People can not take it upon themselves to determine what they will and will not do,” said Moyé.At times there were technical issues as the court reporter who was taking notes remotely struggled to hear the judge, lawyer and witnesses.Paid AdvertisementNotifications can be turned off anytime in the browser settings.No ThanksAllow
