Police in Holly, Mich., are investigating after a man reportedly wiped his nose on the sleeve of a woman who asked him to wear a mask while in a store.

The woman, an employee of the Dollar Tree at which the incident occurred on Saturday, told police that the unidentified man refused to wear a mask and was disruptive in the store before leaving in a white van, according to the Detroit News.

"Here, I will just use this as a mask," he reportedly said as he wiped his face on the employee's sleeve.

Police have not identified a suspect in the investigation.

1. The workers ought to be outfitted with a go pro type camera

Though I think this imbecile was caught on the store surveillance.

2. I think there is a case for calling this kind of behavior

assault, if there is a stay-at-home, social distancing order in place.

It IS assault, and I would have to respond in self defense, you know what I mean?

I'm stubborn enough to take it to court, also.

4. Asked my attorney ( live in)

He said it could be criminal assault.

5. I agree, but I am not a lawyer.

So my opinion is no better than anyone elses...except a lawyer.

6. Wouldn't this be assault even...

...without the social distancing?

This is so disgusting I can’t even find words. Who wipes their noses on someone once out of toddlerhood?

3. These workers need to be given something to protect themselves.

This is beyond the pale.

7. I hope the employee didn't wash her "blue dress"!! If she gets the DNA on it tested for COVID-19,

and it's positive, she could get him for attempted murder? It's definitely assault.
