Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton called for officials to immediately release a Dallas salon owner who was jailed for seven days for defying the stay-at-home order by continuing to serve customers.

“Shelley Luther should immediately be released from jail. Locking her up is a misguided abuse of power, especially considering Dallas County released real criminals to ‘protect them from COVID-19,’” Paxton said in a statement on Wednesday.
