A 51-year-old man is facing multiple charges after Russell RCMP responded to a report of a disturbance at a local business on Main Street in Inglis on March 24.
When officers arrived on the scene, they learned that the male entered the business without a mask, and when he was reminded that masks are mandatory at this time, he proceeded to get angry and belligerent.
The 51-year-old began banging his fists on the counter and against the plastic partition, where the employee was standing. He would leave the store for a few minutes before returning where he continued being belligerent.
Officers located the suspect a short time later at his own place of business where he was yelling, swearing, and being belligerent towards officers, and he was arrested.
He faces charges of mischief, Causing a Disturbance along with Failing to wear a Mask x2 ($298) and Failing to wear a mask in his own business ($5,000). He's scheduled to appear in court on June 23, 2021.
