OWOSSO, Mich. --- It's day six of 77-year-old Owosso barber Karl Manke defying Governor Whitmer's orders and opening his shop.
Dozens of people are still gathering outside the business to show support. Saturday morning there was a line of more than 15 customers outside the door waiting for haircuts.
Manke has received two citations so far from police for violating the executive order.
Friday night, Michigan State Police issued Manke a health protection order from Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel's office demanding he close his doors to customer.

Members of the Michigan Militia say they will take action to keep Manke from going to jail.
"Yesterday six troopers came in to enforce the governor's order or to issue a cease or desist order so we are here to make sure he doesn't get arrested. We're willing to stand in front of that door and block the entrance so the police will have no entry there today," said Owosso resident, Daniel Brewer.
