Hundreds jailed, thousands ticketed for violating South Texas COVID restrictions Twilight in the Rio Grande Valley. (Source: Miguel Gutierrez Jr., The Texas Tribune) By KCBD Staff | December 20, 2020 at 4:44 PM CST - Updated December 28 at 12:38 AM
The day that Dallas salon owner Shelley Luther was arrested for reopening her business in defiance of Texas emergency stay-home orders, Robin Torres sat in a county jail 500 miles away facing the consequences of his own failure to follow such rules.
Luther became a conservative darling this spring for her provocation, spending two days in custody on contempt of court charges. Largely in response to her case, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott eventually prohibited the authorities from jailing anyone for violating the stay-home orders established to stop the spread of COVID-19.
South Texas restrictions were meant to protect people from COVID-19. Then the handcuffs and ticket books came out.
