A Florida man seeking assistance from Best Buy’s Geek Squad was denied service and arrested after he allegedly refused to wear a face mask, and reportedly coughed, sneezed, and covered items in the store with his fluids.
Around noon on December 5, 51-year-old Alton Ashby from Palm Bay had an appointment with the Geek Squad at a nearby Best Buy store.
When Ashby arrived without a face covering, he went to an employee for service and was told that he would have to wear a mask in the store.
When a man brought his broken laptop to Best Buy for service last August, the technicians working with the files on the machine believed he was storing pictures depicting sexual content containing very young children and reported him to the authorities.
Des Moines resident Robert Leo Watson found that his laptop was no longer functioning after he had a mishap and spilled gravy on the keyboard of the electronic device.
On August 11, 2018, Watson reportedly went to the local Best Buy and bought a new computer to replace the one he had rendered defective. While he was there 54-year-old Watson reportedly decided he would pay the Geek Squad a fee to have the information stored on the old machine moved to the new one.
