PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Police in Rhode Island say a man assaulted a 16-year-old Walmart worker after refusing to put a mask on his young child.

Authorities say the altercation occurred at a Walmart in North Smithfield after the teenage employee informed the man that store policy required his toddler to wear a mask. The man refused, and then
when the teen went to notify a manager, the man put him in a choke hold and punched him.

Police said they contacted the suspect, who turned himself in. They identified him as Michael Caro, 34, of Woonsocket.
He was charged with simple assault and battery and disorderly conduct and released with a court summons.

2. Looks like an ignorant fucking douchebag to me.

He apparently likes to act like one, also. On the bright side, he can get some more facial art in the slammer.
