Police In New York County Make First Arrest Under A Face Mask Ban

NEW YORK — Police in the suburbs of New York City made the first arrest under a new local law banning face masks, officials announced Tuesday. Nassau County Police say officers on Sunday night responded to reports of a suspicious person on a street near the Levittown and Hicksville town line, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) east of Manhattan. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] They found Wesslin Omar Ramirez Castillo wearing black clothing and a black ski mask that covered his face, except for his eyes. The department said the 18-year-old resident displayed other suspicious behavior, including attempting to conceal a large bulge in his waistband and refusing to comply with the officers’ commands. Officers say the bulge turned out to be a 14-inch knife.
