Woman Faces Charge Following Fist Fight Over Social Distancing At Walmart

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — An argument over COVID-19 social distancing led to a fistfight in a Colorado Springs Walmart between two women on Friday, police said.

One of the women complained that the other was not staying 6 feet away, according to Colorado Springs police. An argument ensued and the first woman threw the other to the floor inside the store, police said.

The woman, whose name was not released, was arrested on suspicion of third-degree assault, The Gazette reported.

Health experts recommend people try to stay at least 6 feet away from each other to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
