Police arrested Wesslin Omar Ramirez Castillo, 18, Sunday. Castillo is the first person to face charges under Nassau County's new ban on masking.
New York police made their first arrest for an alleged violation of a new ban on mask-wearing in Nassau County Sunday. Police say Wesslin Omar Ramirez Castillo, 18, was arrested for wearing a mask and acting suspiciously in Levittown, New York. He is an illegal immigrant from Guatemala who entered the U.S. in 2019, sources told Fox News Digital. A photo shows he was dressed in all black, and police say he was attempting to conceal a bulge in his pants, which turned out to be a 14-inch knife.
Castillo is the first person to face charges under the county's new Mask Transparency Act, which prohibits face coverings in public except for health and religious reasons. The new mandate came in reaction to large groups of protesters concealing their identities during violent demonstrations. Castillo was charged with fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, second-degree obstructing governmental administration and violating the Mask Transparency Act.
