A woman who refused to wear a face mask inside of a Galveston bank on Thursday has been charged with trespassing and resisting arrest, according to police.
Terry Wright, 65, would not put on a face mask to prevent the spread of COVID-19 when asked to by a manager inside of the Bank of America at 6109 Central City Blvd., Galveston Police Department officers said. The bank called the police after Wright reportedly did not leave the business when told to.
“You believe in this?” Wright is heard asking the officer on body camera footage after being told to put a mask on or leave.
Wright continues, “What are you going to do, arrest me?”
The officer is heard on the footage explaining to Wright that because the bank is a private business, it can refuse her service for not wearing a mask. Wright cited the recent statewide rollback of Texas' mask mandate on Wednesday.
“You’re taking away people’s human rights,” Wright told the officer.
