Florida Man Spits On Boy Wearing Mask At Restaurant Florida man has gone to a new level. This one asked a boy at a restaurant to remove his mask. When the boy didn't, the man spit on him. 47-year-old Jason Copenhaver of Redington Shores then told the boy, "You now have coronavirus." The incident took place last Sunday.

When Copenhaver spat on the boy, a restaurant employee came over to apprehend Copenhaver until the police arrived. Copenhaver told authorities that he has not been tested for COVID-19 and didn't know if he was infected. He was arrested on misdemeanor charges of simple battery and disorderly conduct.  If you were the boy's parent, what would you have done?
