According to a detailed police report filed by the Perkins Township Police Department, Colyn Tusin, of Milan, refused to put a mask on inside the store located at 5500 Milan Road on Saturday evening.

....
At that point, the officer handcuffed Tusing and placed him under arrest.
Police say Tusing also had a razor blade in his pocket."

... it is best to be adequately armed and ready for trouble when you go out on a quick shopping errand to pick up a few items.

It isn't March anymore, and I'm already noticing a more coherent storyline coming out of the popular media. They don't feel like they need to grant equal time to the nutballs and their madness about masks. Public health officials don't need to look over their shoulder when they talk about the common sense, available, affordable countermeasures people can take to stop or slow the spread of the virus. Trump's teeth have fallen out, and he can't bite people anymore.

Maybe young Colyn can spend a month or so watching people die, wheezing away their lives attended by strangers and machines with their loved ones kept safely away.

At least he doesn’t have to worry about losing a girlfriend over this incident.
