“They were non-compliant with requests to stay home,” said Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins on Thursday while explaining the presence of officers.
Dallas County Health and Human Services (DCHHS) Director Zachary Thompson says the family members understand the precautionary steps being taken and have signaled that they are willing to comply.
“We didn’t meet any resistance with them understanding,” said Thompson. “We thoroughly read each line of the order and asked them if they would be willing to comply. They emphatically said they would comply with the order. I never saw any resistance from them.”
Dallas County Judge Jenkins says that several days of food have been delivered to the apartment and a contractor has been hired to thoroughly clean the apartment.
“Those people in the apartment are part of Dallas County, and they are going to be treated with the utmost respect and dignity in this unusual situation,” Jenkins said.
