Eagle County sheriff looking for man who purposely coughed on customer’s products

EAGLE COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) -- The Eagle County Sheriff's Office is looking for a man who went on a rant about "media hype" about coronavirus and then purposely coughed on a customer's items inside a Village Market in Edwards.

The sheriff's office didn't say when the incident happened but posted about it Monday morning. Officials say the man pictured above was told about Village Market's policy to keep six feet away from customers and was asked to step back when he began his rant, saying the employee was "falling for the media hype."

According to a report to the sheriff's office, the man then got in between a customer and an employee and coughed on the customer's items.
