New York man gets 135 years prison for non-business salon visit.

Non-business visit at beauty salon gets New York man 135 year prison sentence.

New York City, NY; A New York City man will be spending at least the next one hundred thirty five (135) years in prison as ordered by a Federal judge after the man was arrested for visiting an employee at a beauty salon in Lower Manhattan for non-business reasons.

According to audio and video surveillance seized and viewed by the FBI, the man had a 7 minute visit with the employee whom was at work at the beauty salon on May 25th, 2021. He was heard telling the employee "how great it was to see her again" and how "Hooters was not the same without her." The employee was then heard chatting with the man about a trip the employee took to Yosemite National Park until the salon was stormed by a platoon of FBI and Homeland Security officers that arrested the man and the employee.

The man testified in court, to which the Judge replied; "It doesn't matter if she invited you or not, what you did was illegal and absolutely does not fly in the United States of America. You can not visit someone at their job under Federal law unless it's at a bar or restaurant. You see that she isn't working at a restaurant, you can not visit her at her work anymore unless it's strictly business-related."
