A recent arrest by the Moose Jaw Police Service could be a good reminder to residents to wear a mask when out shopping.
Police attended to a grocery store at 11:44 a.m. on March 26 after receiving a complaint about a non-compliance issue with pandemic orders, a news release explained.
Store management asked a Moose Jaw man, 59, to leave the premises because he was refusing to wear a mask, which is contrary to current public health orders. When police approached the man, an altercation ensued, and officers had to restrain the man and arrest him.
Police charged the man with assaulting a police officer, obstruction, and causing a disturbance, while officers also gave the man a ticket under the public health order.
