Man stabbed Jack in the Box manager 3 times after refusing to wear mask in Texas town, police say

LEAGUE CITY, Texas (KTRK) -- Police in League City are looking for a man they say stabbed a Jack in the Box manager after being asked to wear a face mask or leave the restaurant.

Police said 53-year-old James Henry Schultz refused to cooperate with store policy to wear a face mask.

Police said the suspect, 53-year-old James Henry Schulz, walked in the restaurant without a face mask and was told he needed to have one in order to be served or use the drive-thru.

"[Schulz] belligerently refused and said they did not want to serve him because he was homeless and began yelling that he would be contacting his attorney as he was filming with his cell phone," said League City police chief Gary Ratliff during a briefing Thursday afternoon.

Surveillance video released by the police department shows the manager holding up the store's written policy as he escorts Schulz out the door. But seconds after turning his back, Schulz steps back into the restaurant, runs after the manager and attacks him with what appeared to be a pocketknife, according to investigators.

I'll also note that, based on the surveillance pictures, Texas apparently feeds their homeless well.

I still remember that line from a "Sidney the Elephant" cartoon that I saw as a kid, showing after 1:40 here:

Is this some new branch of the law, attorney for the homeless? I imagine it doesn’t pay very well.
