VACAVILLE (CBS13) – A cease and desist notice was served to a local barbershop owner who reopened his shop Friday in defiance of the stay-at-home order issued during the coronavirus pandemic.
In a news release, the City of Vacaville said Juan Desmarais, the owner of Primo's Barbershop, has been approached on several occasions by police and code enforcement officers in an effort to get the shop owner to comply with restrictions.
