"Guelph Police Service was called to a business on Silvercreek Parkway North," police stated. "A female customer had gone behind the counter and began throwing product around after she was denied service for not wearing a mask."

Once arrested, the suspect also reportedly told officers that she would return to the business and commit a similar offence if released.

Due to this, officers transferred her to the police station where she spent a couple of days in jail. The suspect will appear in court on Tuesday.
