Man arrested for wearing Grinch mask

WHEELING, W.Va. - City and county attorneys are defending Wheeling police who arrested a man for wearing a Grinch mask while walking along a city street.

Norman Eugene Gray, 42, was arrested Tuesday. He was arraigned and released on a personal recognizance bond.

Officers saw Gray about 8:45 a.m. Tuesday, told him to take the mask off and not put it on again. Gray removed it and asked why he could not wear it, according to Wheeling police reports. Officers told him wearing masks in public is illegal.

Gray said he felt he had a right to wear it and said it was not illegal. He put the mask back on and was arrested. The mask was confiscated.

Wheeling City Solicitor Rosemary Humway-Warmuth and Ohio County Prosecutor Scott Smith said masks as well as dark window tinting in vehicles can pose a safety hazard to law enforcement officers and hinder efforts to identify criminal suspects.

Halloween must be a whole bucket full o' fun for those people then :huh:

[Almighty Colin]

They did the same thing to me. I wasn't even wearing a mask. :-(

[PornoDoggy]

I think it is legal to wear masks of NASCAR drivers, however ...

[Dravyk]

I'm seriously thinking more and more that moving out of this country is a better and better idea. :(

[Newton]

Whats next .. please remove your sunglasses? hats? hoodies?

[Trev]

I'm sorry but the US is really starting to make me laugh my ass off...























...what do I mean starting... it always did :biglaugh:

With the masks I've got, you betcha I am :groucho:

[SykkBoy]

well, I know what mask I'm not going to buy for halloween this yer.....

[PornoDoggy]

Yeah, I think it's pretty wierd to be wearing a Grinch mask in May at 8:45 in the morning.

I just think cops should have something better to do.

[Newton]

I have never heard of a robbery at Krispy Kreme happening ;)

[Mike AI]

Anti-mask ordinances become popular is the south to thwart the KKK back in the day. New Orleans has a very similiar law.

[ThrobX]

I'd like to see about a thousand people wearing Grinch masks walking about randomly in that town some morning. I'd even chip in for the masks.

fortunately, in wheeling, shoes and shirts are optional.

I've always thought that KKK members should be allowed to wear full regalia all the time.

Them crosses make excellent targets, I hear.
