SAINT ANTHONY – The Val Verde County judge said a person from the Del Río area may have knowingly exposed hundreds of people to COVID-19 during a country music event in San Antonio.

Justice Lewis Owens recently posted a strong and familiar post on Facebook about stopping the spread of the deadly virus.

“We get a lot of phone calls. Why are our cases increasing? It’s not up to us guys anymore. It’s up to you to decide, ”Owens said in the Facebook post.

In the post, Owens specifically called out a girl from the Del Río area who he said had attended a Cody Johnson concert at Cowboys Dancehall last weekend knowing she was positive for COVID-19.

“There are obviously some Snapchat photos that you all took with your mask on and are all having fun. You are positive, ma’am. You should never have left, ”Owens said in the post.

Owens said after the photo was posted, the girl tried to cover it up.

“So you have the nerve, the audacity, to lie to the tracers that you had in a fight with your mother and all those other things.” That’s why you weren’t home and then you confess, ”Owens said.

Owens knows the damage may have already been done.

“People like her are what bring these things back and kill families,” he said.

The girl Owens was referring to received a citation, and the judge said he plans to release her name as soon as possible to make it an example.

Cowboys Dancehall has been cited for two violations of the city’s health emergency declaration due to large crowds at concerts. The dance hall is now one quote from being closed.

TABC is also investigating possible alcohol violations following the weekend’s events.
