Maskless man who wiped nose on Dollar Tree employee’s shirt arrested

The man at the Dollar Tree store then allegedly walked to the clerk and wiped his nose on their shirt and said, “Here, I will use this as a mask.”

A man who was confronted at a Michigan Dollar Tree store about not wearing a mask and responded by wiping his nose on an employee’s shirt was arrested Tuesday.

Surveillance video showed the man walking around the store without a mask on before walking over to the employee and wiping his nose and face on her sleeve.

According to the Holly Police Department, the man entered the store on May 2 around 1:30 p.m. without a mask despite multiple signs, including at the entrance, informing customers that masks were required in the store.

After he was confronted, the suspect allegedly said “Here, I will use this as a mask” before wiping his nose and face on the woman’s sleeve.

According to police, a tip from a member of the public led to the arrest of the suspect who is expected to be arraigned Tuesday. Police have not yet released the man’s identity.
