So much cringe in this it's not even funny. It's kind of 2A related, kind of off topic, so mods move this to off topic if I put it in the wrong place.
Woman points stun gun at man after he claims to have coronavirus, says he’ll cough on her, MBTA Transit Police say
A Lawrence woman was arrested for illegally possessing a stun gun after authorities say she threatened to use it on a man who told her he had coronavirus and was going to cough on her.
The MBTA Transit Police said on Tuesday around 4 p.m., a transit officer was on patrol at the MBTA’s Ashmont station when he was approached by a man.
The man told the officer that a woman, later identified as 20-year-old Danae Perez, of Lawrence, threatened to tase him while pointing a stun gun at him.
The officer saw Perez walking on Dorchester Avenue and caught up with her. The officer, according to transit police, found Perez had a stun gun on her.
Perez told the officer she had an argument with the victim.
“Perez claims the victim told her he had the coronavirus and she alleged he threatened to cough on her,” police said. “Perez states at this time she removed her stun gun pointed it at the victim and threatened to tase him if he coughed.”
Perez was charged with illegal possession of an electronic stun gun. Perez was placed into custody for illegal possession of an electronic stun gun and transported to TPD HQ for the arrest booking process.
MBTA officials said there is a disinfection protocol to clean subway and commuter rail stations to help prevent the spread of coronavirus.
Hand sanitizers were installed in the MBTA’s facilities and there are regular cleanings of handrails, guard rails, fare machines and other “contact areas.”
Personnel will be disinfecting that equipment every four hours, and all MBTA vehicles every day.
On Tuesday, Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker declared a state of emergency as states across the United States respond to COVID-19.
As of Wednesday, there were six confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 89 presumptive positive cases of the virus in Massachusetts.
Baker encouraged older adults to avoid large crowds including riding the MBTA.
The CDC also encouraged social distancing which is avoiding mass gathering and maintaining a distance of roughly 6 feet from other people.
