No law or court supports this view.”The city’s news release did not specify where threats against employees or verbal abuse had occurred.Stillwater Police Chief Jeff Watts issued a separate statement refuting social media claims that the department was checking motorists for face coverings, responding to complaints about them or ticketing those without coverings.Friday’s amended proclamation also extended the city’s state of emergency through May 31.Featured videoThis browser does not support the video element.
