A Florida man was arrested over the weekend after allegedly spraying a substance on a business's doors and telling customers that it contained COVID-19.
According to witnesses, the suspect sprayed the unknown substance"on and around" the entrance doors before telling employees and patrons in the area that"they were now infected with COVID-19," the JSO said on Facebook, also posting the suspect's mugshot. The charge is a first-degree felony that is punishable by a 30-year prison sentence and/or a fine that does not exceed $10,000-$15,000.
Rosen wrote in the letter :"Because coronavirus appears to be the statutory definition of a 'biological agent'... such acts potentially could implicate the nation's terrorism-related statutes. Threats or attempts to use COVID-19 as a weapon against Americans will not be tolerated."after posting Instagram videos claiming he had developed a cure for novel coronavirus patients.
