Florida: “Non-Essential” Business Wins Huge Court Case Against State After Refusing To Close Doors To Public

100% Fed Up: On April 16, authorities arrested 36-year-old Galen Wood, owner of Kitchen Table Games in Pinellas Park, FL for operating a “non-essential” business and violating a safer at home order.

Wood was charged with operating a non-essential business and traveling to operate a non-essential business.

The Capitolist reports – According to deputies, the 36-year-old business owner continued to operate his store that specializes the tabletop gaming after the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners issued the order late last month. Authorities say they were called to the business five times between April 3 and April 16, due to complaints and tips that the store was open and social distancing guidelines were not being followed.

Wood was issued a warning on each occasion, before deputies conducted a non-essential business compliance check at his store on April 16. Wood refused to close the store and was arrested shortly after.

Wood is the first Florida business owner to be arrested under such orders. READ MORE
