TEXAS CITY, Texas - We’re getting our first look after the same woman who went viral for not wearing a mask at a Galveston Bank was taken into custody for the same reason in Texas City.
According to a release, Texas City Police Dispatch received a call from employees at Office Depot, located at 9550 Emmett F Lowery Expressway about an adult female inside the store refusing to wear a mask or leave the store.
When Officer Cunningham-Authorlee arrived at the store, Terry Lynn Wright, was standing at the check-out counter reading aloud from her mobile phone, claiming she was ‘educating people’ on their rights.
RAW: Second officers view of incident at Texas City Office Depot
Police officer Edinburgh's view of the incident involving Terry Wright, who was the same woman in a viral video refusing to wear a mask in a Galveston bank, refused to wear a mask inside of a Texas City store. She was arrested for warrants in connection with the Galveston incident.
When Cunningham-Authorlee asked Wright to leave or be arrested, she refused to leave and tried to get the officer to read what was on her phone.
As the officer tried to take Wright into custody, she started yelling asking people to record what was happening and apparently tried to keep the officer from putting handcuffs on.
It was at that point when Wright gave her name to officers that the officers realized the woman was the same person wanted on the Galveston warrants.
