A Tennessee man was arrested Friday night as Nashville Metro Police enforced a mask mandate.
Police reported having issued 16 citations for mask violations in the city Friday evening. One man was arrested after running from officers attempting to give him such a citation.

On Oct. 30, Governor Bill Lee extended an Executive order allowing mayors to mandate masks through the end of the year. Davidson county has adopted its mandate early on, and has yet to lift it.
In August, the city of Nashville made headlines after police arrested a 61 year old homeless man for not wearing a mask.
A 61 yr old homeless man was arrested in Nashville for not wearing a mask. Is putting an old homeless man in jail the best response @JohnCooper4Nash?! A Republican is trying to pay his bail. City won’t let her unless she picks him up. https://t.co/RvA7OGRaFN

The same month, a Metro Nashville At-Large Council Member suggested during a health committee meeting that maskless individuals should be charged with murder.
This Nashville Council member wants people not wearing a mask to be arrested for murder. Good thing we don't have a world government, or all of Finland, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden would therefore be in a giant concentration camp https://t.co/78OfUKk3mr
