UPDATED- Attorney for jailed Dallas hairdresser says coronavirus crisis exposed 'tiny tyrants for who they are'

Arlington attorney Warren Norred typically spends work days on intellectual property cases filed in federal court.

But now Norred, principal in Norred Law, has found himself in the eye of a political hurricane by representing Shelley Luther, owner of Salon A La Mode in Dallas.

The city of Dallas sued Luther for opening her salon on April 24, in violation of Dallas’ COVID-19 stay-home order. The case ramped up this week when a Dallas judge jailed Luther for contempt of court because she violated that court’s temporary restraining order by continuing to run her salon. Her sentence was seven days in jail and a $7,000 fine, with another $500 per day that the salon remained open, reported The Texan.

But on Thursday the Texas Supreme Court stepped in by granting an emergency motion to allow Luther’s release from jail, as the court handles a petition for writ of habeas corpus filed by Norred.
