Central Pa. man cited for not wearing mask on Rehoboth Beach boardwalk

Police in the Delaware city of Rehoboth Beach issued their first citation for not wearing a mask on the boardwalk against a Lancaster [PA] man.

According to a statement from Rehoboth Beach Police Public Information Officer Lt. Jaime Riddle, Delaware has opened beaches and boardwalks as of May 22, but with the regulation that face masks are required to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Despite that, police encountered a “defiant lack of compliance” on Monday from a 56-year-old Lancaster man, Riddle said. Because the encounter was widely circulated on social media, the department received many requests for comment.

Riddle explained that at 12:30 p.m. Monday, a seasonal cadet standing at the Delaware Avenue entrance to the boardwalk saw a man approaching without a mask.

The cadet told the man, who had not been identified to police at the time, that he was required to wear a mask on the boardwalk, Riddle said. The man told the cadet “he would have to follow him and make him,” Riddle wrote.

The officer attempted to stop the man but he refused and walked away onto the beach. The cadet then talked with others who witnessed the exchange and were “upset and yelling” at the man for not wearing a mask.

A full-time officer arrived and accompanied the cadet to the beach where they found the man and asked for his identification, Riddle said. The man claimed he did not have it with him, then gave officers a false name and state of residency.

The man continued to refuse to give any further information, despite several warnings, and police detained him, Riddle said.

For the next hour and through various efforts, police worked with the man who eventually provided his information to the officers and was given a civil citation and a mask, Riddle said.

The man was not identified in Riddle’s statement.

The PoPo don’t even ask the looters not to.

Maybe we can get Comey to indict H->! ?

"Police in the Delaware city of Rehoboth Beach issued
their first citation for not wearing a mask
on the boardwalk against a Lancaster [PA] man."

But people can wear the skimpiest bathing suits that
hide nothing without being charged with public indecency.
Very strange times we're living in.

He should have claimed that he was a one man protest rally.

Mask up, FRiend...don’t know if DE has a medical exemption like many other states.

If they do claim acute cranialrectalitis.

I read of a recent poll that found that those who always wear masks are overwhelmingly for Biden and those who never wear a mask are overwhelmingly for Trump.

I like that.

I’m not very good at “social distancing” so I have to keep practicing.

That’s because I’m pretty antisocial and like to keep my distance.

Rehoboth is the faggot beach in DE.
So anal sex is okay, but no mask is criminal.

In Virginia, we specifically did NOT require masks outdoors, because the science indicates they are stupid.

Wonder what sorcerers have attached themselves to Delaware’s king to convince him otherwise.
