A counterprotester at a No Mask Nevada demonstration Saturday was arrested following a shoving match between him and multiple other men, the Metropolitan Police Department said.
Saturday’s rally at the corner of Cheyenne Avenue and Durango Drive in State Senate District 6 was the fifth protest that the No Mask Nevada PAC has organized, according to PAC chair Melissa Blundo.
The City Council on Wednesday unanimously approved a resolution that would penalize businesses if patrons aren’t wearing masks.
The rally is set to start at 10 a.m. at the northeast corner of Green Valley and Paseo Verde parkways.
Nearly 100 people gathered in Henderson on Wednesday in opposition of the mask mandate announced by Gov. Steve Sisolak last month.
Most Las Vegas Valley grocery stores visited Friday appeared to be in compliance with Gov. Steve Sisolak’s mask mandate.
The statewide mandate requiring people to wear a mask in public settings includes all public transportation services in Southern Nevada.
Several police forces in the Las Vegas Valley have adjusted their policies about face masks after Gov. Steve Sisolak required face coverings for all Nevadans in public.
Nevada has issued guidelines on when and where to wear face masks, along with exceptions to those rules, since Gov. Steve Sisolak made them mandatory.
