Dec 2020

From the Chief of Police Freddie Portillo:

"To date, 16 citations have been issued, Portillo said, and while officers have discretion to cite people or not, the department's overall recommendation is zero tolerance for violations."

"The maximum fine for a violation of the town's mask ordinance is $100, but belligerent offenders also risk being cited for resisting, evading or obstructing an officer giving a lawful command, Portillo cautioned. And if a person is asked to leave a business because they refuse to properly wear a mask and they don't leave, they may also be arrested for trespassing."
