A Florida man was apprehended after allegedly battering an employee and a customer during a confrontation regarding his refusal to wear a face-covering inside a hardware store.
Late in the afternoon on August 25, a man identified as 51-year-old Russell Alan Wood reportedly took a trip to the local Ace Hardware Store in Largo.
When he entered the store, Wood was reportedly informed that to patronize the business he would be required to don a face covering.
Two men allegedly stole alcohol from a convenience store while wearing hollowed-out watermelons as masks in a purported attempt to conceal their identities.
On the evening of May 5, the Sheetz convenience store in Louisa, Virginia, was visited by two people wearing masks that appeared unrelated to COVID-19 protection, as they were reportedly made of watermelon rinds that encased their heads. The watermelons had their innards removed and eye holes were carved for visibility.
The suspects, who were reportedly riding in a black Toyota Tacoma, allegedly grabbed liquor from the store’s supply and walked out without paying for the products.
