A barber from Michigan has been hit with a $9,000 fine for license violations after re-opening his shop and cutting hair for free during a hairstylist protest on the steps of the Michigan State Capitol last spring.
Shiawassee County barber Karl Manke was issued fines totaling $3,000 by the Michigan Board of Barber Examiners for violating state sanitation and equipment regulations as well as another $6,000 for his participation in the May 2020 state Capitol demonstrations in Ingham County, The Associated Press reported.
