NASSAU- A man who deliberately spit in the faces of two strangers during the COVID-19 crisis has been jailed for two months.
Owen Strapp, 51, spat at Kevin Robinson and Owen Johnson in separate incidents on August 4.
He spit in Mr Robinson’s face after they had an argument in the parking lot of Home Fabrics on Carmichael Road.
Then, Strapp walked up to Johnson at the Royal Bank of Canada on Carmichael Road and spit on him.
Police arrested Strapp after both men made complaints.
Strapp pleaded guilty to assault at his arraignment before Deputy Chief Magistrate Andrew Forbes on Thursday, August 6.
Strapp was unrepentant and told the magistrate he spat at the men because he “felt like it.”
Magistrate Forbes told Strapp that his actions were unacceptable, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The magistrate also fined Strapp $500 for failing to wear a face mask in public.
