Some Michiganders are losing their shit for being told to wear face masks at stores to prevent the s [View all]

A Roseville woman is accused of assaulting an employee at a Nino Salvaggio market in Saint Clair Shores after being asked to leave for not wearing a face mask. When police arrived, she resisted arrest and spit at them.

This incident is one of several in Michigan in which store employees have been attacked — and in one case, killed — for enforcing face mask policies.

A 2017 Roseville mayoral candidate, Kristin Hoff, 33, entered the store on April 26 and was asked to leave because she wasn't wearing a face mask. After allegedly assaulting a store employee, police were called. Hoff continued to “behave erratically” and resisted arrest, attacking the officers and even spitting at them, at which point she was arrested.

The incident came just two days after Gov. Gretchen Whitmer extended Michigan's coronavirus stay at home order and issued the requirement that all individuals wear a mask when in an enclosed space, like grocery stores and pharmacies. Whitmer also said that those establishments reserve the right to refuse service to anyone not wearing a mask.
