BROOK PARK, Ohio (CBS Newspath/WOIO/WKRC) - An Ohio woman is facing several criminal charges after she refused to wear a mask inside a grocery store.

According to Brook Park police, KAREN Turner was arrested on Jan. 18 at a Marc’s store for refusing to leave. The Parma Heights resident was asked by employees to exit because she was in violation of the store’s mask policy. When she wouldn't, those employees called the cops.

Body camera video shows Turner refusing to leave or provide identification to Brook Park officers. Police eventually got her outside... but not without a struggle. Eventually, she was placed in the cruiser.

Turner pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor charges of criminal trespassing, resisting arrest and failure to disclose information since she would not hand over her identification.
