A Boise man is seeking $4.5 million in compensation after Boise police officers arrested him for refusing to wear a mask inside a Costco store.

Peter Hearn, 51, said police arrested him in December after he refused to wear a mask inside the Costco at 2051 S. Cole Road, according to a tort claim filed with the city. Hearn said he argued for 10 minutes with store employees who implored him to wear a mask inside the store.

“(Hearn) informed them all that they were unlawfully harassing, trapping, assaulting, imprisoning, arresting, abusing and violating him,” the tort claim said.

In their incident report, police said they arrested Hearn after he refused to show them identification and was later taken to Ada County Jail due to a previous trespassing incident.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

2. Is he representing himself?

Just a guess.

3. Arrested for not wearing a mask, or trespassing?

Once you're asked to leave the premises, and you refuse, you're trespassing. Seems pretty clear-cut.

4. Another big baby lawsuit

9. Numerous stupid lawsuits are filled everyday

Thankfully the vast majority are sent to the circular file.

5. Wonder if he is one of the sovereign citizens.

Just because he wants does not mean that he will get.

6. Maybe rudy can still practice in Idaho.

7. And it will

Get thrown out of court in record time. And his Lawyer should be reprimanded for filing such a frivolous lawsuit

8. I think a lot of people are using masks as a pretext to pick fights they already wanted to pick

A lot of these folks harbor resentments (racial, social, etc.) that they can't say out loud. Also, a lot of them are marginalized types. The "mask" issue is just a way to seek attention and vent the hostility they feel about having to live politely and considerately among their fellow people.

10. Yep.

11. TFG supporters are idiots

12. He was told to leave so he was trespassing.

The police arrested him and then he refused to show any identification so he was charged with that crime. He isn't going to get a dime.

13. but tfg

has his back and will pay for his main attorney, guy namea "Rudy" to handle his case.

Or, the unmasked man will get C19 and change his lawsuit claiming Costco didn't go far enough to protect him from it by demanding customers wear masks.

He's a fukcin idiot.
