A 77-year-old Michigan barbershop owner has had his license suspended, according to legal documents (pdf) claiming that by cutting hair in violation of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s “non-essential” business shutdown, the elderly barber “has the potential to spread COVID-19 around the state.”
Karl Manke, who runs Karl Manke Main St. Barber & Beauty Shop in Owosso, a small town between Lansing and Flint, has had both his license and that of his business “summarily suspended,” according to a May 12 order signed by Debra Gagrialdi, director of the Bureau of Professional Licensing.
