BOISE, Idaho — Over the weekend, a group of anti-mask protesters made their way through several Boise businesses, a majority on Small Business Saturday, allegedly harassing customers and store employees about the city's mask mandate.
On Tuesday, a City of Boise spokesperson said at least three people had been cited for trespassing under the city's new public health order, although he did not say if it was in connection to last weekend's protesters.
The City of Boise told KTVB that since the compliance hotline went into effect on Monday, November 23, there have been 60 calls made to Boise Police for trespassing and at least three trespassing citations have already been issued.
The city clerk's office says 36 calls have turned into cases.
We asked the city where and when this happened, but have yet to receive a response.
Late Tuesday afternoon, Boise Police tweeted that they will be issuing citations to suspects they have identified from Saturday's events.
As of Dec. 1, no citations have been issued for residents refusing to wear a mask.
