A Michigan judge has blocked efforts by the state’s attorney general to continue trying to hold a local barber in contempt of court over the businessman’s refusal to keep his shop closed during the coronavirus pandemic. The Michigan Supreme Court on Friday had vacated a ruling that ordered Karl Manke to close his haircutting business in Owosso. Manke, 77, lost his business license after refusing to comply in early May with Gov. He appealed and won an important court victory, and now a Michigan Circuit Court order says the state can no longer go after him. The motion asked for thousands of dollars in fines each day against Manke if he kept cutting hair.
