A woman was arrested in Texas last week after she allegedly refused to follow a bank’s policy to wear a mask and wouldn’t leave the facility in Galveston—a day after the state had lifted its mask mandate.

Police on March 11 obtained an arrest warrant for 65-year-old Terry Wright of Grants Pass, Oregon, after the incident, according to the police department. Officers said she went into the bank at around 12:30 p.m. and allegedly refused to wear a mask, leading the bank manager to call the police.
