An Oregon woman who was recorded on police body camera video refusing to wear a mask at a Texas bank last week was arrested Wednesday after declining to wear a mask inside another Texas business.
Terry Wright, 65, already had a warrant out for her arrest after she refused to wear a mask in a Bank of America branch in Galveston, Texas.
Less than a week later Texas City Police were called to an Office Depot because Wright refused to wear a mask in the store. Police spokesman Cpl. Allen Bjerke said she was arrested on Galveston warrants for trespassing and resisting arrest, Bjerke said.
Wright, of Grants Pass, Oregon, was taken into custody without incident, Bjerke added, noting that she was not charged for trespassing at the office supply store and that no additional charges were expected.
Governor Greg Abbott recently said Texas can go maskless. But, individual businesses have the right to refuse service to customers if they do not have a mask.
