According to Brook Park police, KAREN Turner was arrested on Jan. 18 at a Marcs store for refusing to leave. The Parma Heights resident was asked by employees to exit because she was in violation of the stores 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.

I think these idiots should get charged with attempted murder or with intention to cause harm.

For as long as this has been going on, refusing to wear masks is baffling.
